God did not intend religion to be an exercise club.

They gave us stepping-stones, but they would not walk on them.

True, the seed does not intend to move itself with the wind, but neither did I intend to have arms and legs.

I'm Jewish. I don't work out. If God had wanted us to bend over, he would have put diamonds on the floor.

We even copied the way the Americans walked, though Father Leonard didn't like that bit of admiration. He disapproved of rolling buttocks.

Surely it would have been better never to have been created at all than, having been created, to be neglected and perish; and, besides that, such indifference to the ruin of His own work before His very eyes would argue not goodness in God but limitation, and that far more than if He had never created men at all. It was impossible, therefore, that God should leave man to be carried off by corruption, because it would be unfitting and unworthy of Himself.
