“Suntem noi învechiți? Sunt oamenii aceștia niște dinozauri? Sau eu? Mai are lumea cu adevărat nevoie de un glas care să ia partea celor săraci, slabi și oprimați ori a copiilor încă nenăscuți? Avem într-adevăr nevoie de suflete ca acestea care, deși imperfecte, își petrec întreaga viață implorându-ne pe fiecare dintre noi să nu ne pierdem jaloanele de moralitate și să nu ne rătăcim?”

“Ne întrebați cum arată Dumnezeu. Eu vă întreb: de unde a apărut această curiozitate? Răspunsul este același la ambele întrebări: nu-L vedeți pe Dumnezeu în știința voastră? Cum de nu-L vedeți? Susțineți că o variație infimă a forței gravitaționale sau a greutății unui atom ar fi fost suficientă pentru a transforma universul nostru magnific într-un haos lipsit de viață, și totuși nu vedeți mâna lui Dumnezeu în asta? Este, într-adevăr, mai ușor de crezut că am tras singura carte norocoasă dintr-un pachet de miliarde posibile? Am devenit atât de morți spiritual, încât suntem dispuși mai degrabă să credem într-o utopie matematică, decât într-o putere mai presus de noi? Indiferent, dacă voi credeți sau nu în Dumnezeu, un lucru trebuie să-l știți: când noi, ca specie, vom renunța să mai credem într-o putere mai mare decât cea a noastră, vom renunța și la simțul responsabilității. Credința... orice credință ne amintește mereu, că mai e ceva ce nu înțelegem, ceva față de care suntem răspunzători. Având credință, devenim responsabili față de ceilalți, față de noi înșine și față de un adevăr mai înalt decât noi. Religia are metehnele ei, dar numai fiindcă și omul le are pe ale sale. Dacă și restul omenirii ar vedea Biserica așa cum o văd eu... privind dincolo de ziduri și de ritualuri... ar vedea un miracol modern... o fraternitate a unor suflete simple și imperfecte, care nu vor să fie decât o voce a compasiunii într-o lume ce și-a pierdut controlul.”
