“It was, of course, a lie what you read about my religious convictions, a lie which is being systematically repeated.

If something is in me which can be called religious then it is the unbounded admiration for the structure of the world so far as our science can reveal it.”

Schopenhauer once said: Der Mensch kann was er will; er kann aber nicht wollen was er will (Man can do what he will but he cannot will what he wills).”
