“We come to God in little steps, not a leap, and that love of police-court truth you think so much of comes very late on the way, if it comes at all. What is truth? as Pilate asked; I’ve never pretended that I could have told him. I’m just glad when a boozer sobers up, or a man stops beating his woman, or a crooked lad tries to go straight. If it makes him boast a bit, that’s not the worst harm it can do. You unbelieving people apply cruel, hard standards to us who believe.”

“To choose not to be part of a team or religion does not make me non-religious; for my religion is Truth and I am very much in love with God. I do not need to align myself with a specific messenger if I already understand God’s message. And the way I think is not considered ‘New Age’, since common sense is not new. So long as you act and speak with love and truth in you, and are good to your fellow man — in that you treat everybody as you would want yourself to be treated, your heart will stand by God regardless of the label you have assigned to your mind.Someone once said to me, “With all the religions in the world, they can’t all be right.”And I replied, “Well they can’t all be wrong either.”
“Art according to art! Love according to love! This is taking the salt away from Heaven. Do you think Our Savior tries to make Himself talked about? He does not ask to be recopied. God cannot be deified without ridicule. He likes to be lived. Dead languages are dead. One must translate Him into all the living languages, and help Him to hide Himself to do good just as the Devil hides himself to do evil.”

Did you reach Troy, Highness?””No, oh no.” “Or Rome?””Not even there.””But you found what you wanted?””I have accepted what I found. Is that the same?””For most people. I think you wanted more.””Once. Now I am past my youth.””But your question just now. ‘When? Where? How do you know?’–was a child’s question.””That is why your religion would never do for me, Marcias.

We should have to forget everything and be born again to answer your question.”
