I've had plenty of time to think things over up here in the mountains. I keep an eye on what's going on and I compare all the evidence. In fact I don't think about anything else. I don't know what it's all leading to, but one thing I'm sure of is that He doesn't have any kind of plan. He still doesn't have any idea what He's doing. Perhaps He hopes to do something big but He doesn't know how to go about it. Let me tell you, Bondy, all He is so far is a natural force. He's hopelessly informed about politics. He's a complete barbarian about economics. He should have taken over the Church, they do have some experience in ... Sometimes He seems to me just like a child.

Additional quotes by Karel Čapek

But old Rossum meant it literally.
He wanted to become a sort of scientific substitute for God. He was a fearful materialist, and that's why he did it all. His sole purpose was nothing more nor less than to prove that God was no longer necessary.

Everyone has the best of feelings towards mankind in general, but not towards the individual man. We'll kill men, but we want to save mankind. And that isn't right, your Reverence. The world will be an evil place as long as people don't believe in other people.
