Here are five quotes I like:
A pious man is one who would be an atheist if the king were.
Sects, sects, sects. Is that all you monks think about?
I think I speak for everyone when I say vegetarian pigs in the blanket are bullshit.
Then, crushing what he chanced to mould in play, the idiot Chaos blew Earth's dust away.
...early worshippers of Dionysus reenacted this gruesome scene by whipping themselves into a frenzy and tearing a live bull to pieces with their hands and teeth. These grisly rites, accompanied by loud music and the crashing of cymbals, were intended to propel the revelers into a state of ecstasy, a word literally meaning 'outside the body' to the Greeks. Through this ecstasy, the cultists hoped to transcend their earthly bonds and allow the soul a temporary liberation from the body. Only in this way could the soul achieve a condition of enthousiasmos, meaning 'inside the god', which the worshipers believed was a taste of what they might one day enjoy in eternity...
