“‘Let there be light!’ said God, and there was light! ‘Let there be blood,’ says man, and there’s a sea!’”

“I distrust a close-mouthed man. He generally picks the wrong time to talk and says the wrong things. Talking’s something you can’t do judiciously, unless you keep in practice. Now, sir, we’ll talk if you like. I’ll tell you right out, I’m a man who likes talking to a man who likes to talk.”

“No possible complexity which we can give to our picture of the universe can hide us from God… We read in Revelation of Him that sat on the throne ‘from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away.’ It may happen to any of us at any moment. In the twinkling of an eye, in a time to small to be measured, and in any place, all that seems to divide us from God can flee away, vanish, leaving us naked before Him, like the first man, like the only man, as if nothing but He and I existed. And since that contact cannot be avoided for long, and since it means either bliss or horror, the business of life is to learn to like it. That is the first and great commandment.”
