Greater is He that is in you, than he that is in the world
Men never do evil so completely and cheerfully as when they do it from religious conviction.
We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature - trees, flowers, grass- grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence... We need silence to be able to touch souls.
When a woman rises up in glory, her energy is magnetic and her sense of possibility contagious.
I find distasteful the traditional idea of Christianity which preaches the resurrection of the body.

You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men.
The abdomen is the reason why man does not easily take himself for a god.
The social principles of Christianity preach cowardice, self-contempt, abasement, submission, humility, in a word all the qualities of the canaille
