“I worship you, Eve. I must have something to worship. Something quite different to myself, like you. There must be something greater than the snake.”

“There is something in you I like more than yourself. Therefore I must destroy you”

“If you do not worship God, you worship something, and nine times out of ten it will be yourself. You have a duty to worship God, not because He will be imperfect and unhappy if you do not, but because you will be imperfect and unhappy.”

“Love, I take it, must look toward something not quite accessible, something not quite understood.”

“Most atheists, if they worship anything, worship something which really exists but is not worthy of worship.”

“If you need something to worship, then worship life - all life, every last crawling bit of it! We're all in this beauty together!”

“I decided to look around for something else to worship. Something I could really count on. And immediately, I thought of the sun. Happened like that. Overnight I became a sun-worshiper. Well, not overnight, you can't see the sun at night. But first thing the next morning, I became a sun-worshiper. Several reasons. First of all, I can see the sun, okay? Unlike some other gods I could mention, I can actually see the sun. I'm big on that. If I can see something, I don't know, it kind of helps the credibility along, you know?…”

“Worship is not just something we feel, it is something we sweat.”

“If I must be faithful to someone or something, I have, first of all, have to be faithful to myself.”

“You give me the feeling that the universe
Was made by something more than human
For something less than human.
But I identify myself, as always,
With something that there's something wrong with,
With something human.”
