Quotes

• “There are a few of us — madmen all! — who are in love with knowing, who would sell the last shirt from our backs for one small truth, one tiny star-fire to light up the murk and mystery of what we call our life… We may go blind before we see it, that's the haunting —”
• “No man — prince, peasant, pope, — has all the light, who says else is a mountebank. I claim no private lien on truth, only a liberty to seek it, prove it in debate, and to be wrong a thousand times to reach a single rightness. It is that liberty they fear. They want us to be driven to God like sheep, not running to him like lovers, shouting joy!"”
• “Ever since the Greeks, we have been drunk with language! We have made a cage with words and shoved our God inside!”
• “If God be God and man a creature made in image of the divine intelligence, his noblest function is the search for truth.”
• “O Mother of Christ, who saw what men could do to one who heard an alien music! Bend to me, be tender. I am blind and deaf and dumb. And yet I do see visions, shout a kind of praise, feel in my pulse apocalyptic drums.”
• “I wonder how it will read five hundred years from now? — To make a man confess a loving God you burn him!”
