Meitä eivät pidä pystyssä ulkopuoliset koristukset vaan sisäpuolen tyhjyys. Juuri samalla tavalla meidät pitää liikkeellä tyhjyyden tiedostaminen eikä se, mitä pyrimme saavuttamaan."

Yet, we so often strain our relatively minuscule brains to conceive, combine, compare, and deduce. Then we fault God when his conclusions disagree.The repetition of this useless exercise leads to a form of insanity which ultimately manifests in denial of the existence of such an illogical God."

Author: Roy L. Pickering Jr.
