“For any one who is pervaded with the sense of causal law in all that happens, who accepts in real earnest the assumption of causality, the idea of a Being who interferes with the sequence of events in the world is absolutely impossible.

The trite objects of human efforts -- possessions, outward success, luxury -- have always seemed to me contemptible.”
