“Nu trebuie să inventez nimic. Pretutindeni în jur sunt fragmente de cărți esențiale. În fiecare om.”

“Dreptul omului de a nu ucide. De a nu învața să ucidă. Neînscris în nicio constituție.”

“Spontaneously, without any theological training, I, a child, grasped the incompatibility of God and shit and thus came to question the basic thesis of Christian anthropology, namely that man was created in God's image. Either/or: either man was created in God's image - and has intestines! - or God lacks intestines and man is not like him.

The ancient Gnostics felt as I did at the age of five. In the second century, the Great Gnostic master Valentinus resolved the damnable dilemma by claiming that Jesus "ate and drank, but did not defecate."

Shit is a more onerous theological problem than is evil. Since God gave man freedom, we can, if need be, accept the idea that He is not responsible for man's crimes. The responsibility for shit, however, rests entirely with Him, the creator of man.”

“Si indrazneala cu care Nietzsche rostea lucrurile! Incredibil! Sa spui ca speranta e cel mai mare rau! Ca Dumnezeu a murit! Ca adevarul este o greseala fara de care nu putem trai! Ca dusmanii adevarului nu sunt minciunile, ci convingerile! Ca rasplata ultima a celui mort este ca nu va mai muri! Ca medicii nu au nici un drept sa deposedeze un om de moartea sa! Ganduri malefice! Il contrazisese pe Nietzsche la fiecare dintre ele. Si totusi, era o falsa polemica: in adancul inimii, el stia ca Nietzsche are dreptate.”
