Certain it is that a conviction, akin to religious feeling, of the rationality or intelligibility of the world lies behind all scientific work of a higher order.

I see no good reasons why the views given in this volume should shock the religious views of anyone.

The religious world is but a reflex of the real world.

Most religious stories and mythologies have some sort of similar root, some sort of global archetypes.

Here's the thing with me and the religious thing. This is the flat-out truth: I find the religiosity and philosophy in the music. I don't find it anywhere else.

I have never seen the slightest scientific proof of the religious ideas of heaven and hell, of future life for individuals, or of a personal God.
