In most cases we attach ourselves to God in order to take revenge on life, to punish it, to signify we can do without it, that we have found something better, and we also attach ourselves to God in horror of men.

To think is to take a cunning revenge in which we camouflage our baseness and conceal our lower instincts.

We understand God by everything in ourselves that is fragmentary, incomplete, and inopportune.

What is pity but the vice of kindness.
