“Everything that the human race has done and thought is concerned with the satisfaction of deeply felt needs and the assuagement of pain.

“The word God is for me nothing more than the expression and product of human weaknesses, the Bible a collection of honorable, but still primitive legends which are nevertheless pretty childish.

For me the Jewish religion like all other religions is an incarnation of the most childish superstitions.”
