“الديانة دين فادح، لا يمكن لأحد أن يوفي به، ديانتنا تديننا، تدين من دان بها بأكثر من غير المؤمنين و تدين أيضا غير المؤمنين الكل و الأب السماوي أقنوم مفارق محتجب خلف هذه الاعتقادات كلها. وهو لا يظهر لنا بتمامه لأننا لا نقدر على الإحاطة بظهوره التام هو فوق إدراكنا و هو بعيد عنا و نحن بعيدون عن بعضنا لأننا جميعا مرهونون بأوهامنا... الأقنوم ذاته وهم غامض اخترعناه و ضدقناه و اختلفنا فيه و لسوف نحارب بعضنا دوما من أجله و قد يأتي يوم يكون فيه لكل إنسان اعتقاده الخاص المختلف عن اعتقاد غيره فتنمحي الديانة من أساسها و تزول الشريعة... الأقنوم: الذات الإلهية من رواية عزازيل و حديث الراهب الفريسي لبطل الرواية حول الاختلاف في وحدانية الرب بين الطوائف المسيحيةمدان الكل ضال”

“This irrelevance of molecular arrangements for macroscopic results has given rise to the tendency to confine physics and chemistry to the study of homogeneous systems as well as homogeneous classes. In statistical mechanics a great deal of labor is in fact spent on showing that homogeneous systems and homogeneous classes are closely related and to a considerable extent interchangeable concepts of theoretical analysis (Gibbs theory). Naturally, this is not an accident. The methods of physics and chemistry are ideally suited for dealing with homogeneous classes with their interchangeable components. But experience shows that the objects of biology are radically inhomogeneous both as systems (structurally) and as classes (generically). Therefore, the method of biology and, consequently, its results will differ widely from the method and results of physical science.”

“[T]his progress of the physical sciences, which the passions and interest do not interfere to disturb; wherein it is not thought that birth, profession, or appointment have given a right to judge what the individual is not in a situation to understand; this more certain progress cannot be observed, unless enlightened men shall search in the other sciences to bring them continually together. This progress at every step exhibits the model they ought to follow; according to which they may form a judgment of their own efforts, ascertain the false steps they may have taken, preserve themselves from pyrrhonism as well as credulity, and from a blind mistrust or too extensive submission to the authorities even of men of reputation and knowledge.”
