"I know not what you mean by God; the word God is to me a sound conveying no clear or distinct affirmation."

Previous Quote

To talk about the need for perfection in man is to talk about the need for another species. The essence of man is imperfection. Imperfection and blazing contradictions-between mixed good and evil, altruism and selfishness, cooperativeness and combativeness, optimism and fatalism, affirmation and negation.

— Norman Cousins
