“El problema de adaptar el tiempo particular a las oraciones particulares es meramente la aparición, en dos puntos de su forma de percepción temporal, del problema total de adaptar el universo espiritual entero al universo corporal entero; que la creación en su totalidad actúa en todos los puntos del espacio y del tiempo, o mejor, que su especie de conciencia les obliga a enfrentarse con el acto creador completo y coherente como una serie de acontecimientos sucesivos. Por qué ese acto creador deja sitio a su libre voluntad es el problema de los problemas, el secreto oculto tras las tonterías del Enemigo acerca del “Amor”. Cómo lo hace no supone problema alguno, porque el Enemigo no prevé a los humanos haciendo sus libres aportaciones en el futuro, sino que los ve haciéndolo en su Ahora ilimitado. Y, evidentemente, contemplar a un hombre haciendo algo no es obligarle a hacerlo.”

“I have a pesky little critic in the back of my mind. He's a permanent fixture and passes judgment on everything I write. In order to placate him, especially when I'm endeavoring to write anything as ambitious as a novel, I have to constantly mutter, 'I'm not writing a masterpiece, I'm not writing a masterpiece.' This mantra lulls him into a kind of stupor so that he pays no attention to what I'm doing, because after all, I'm not claiming it's any good. Slowly, and secretly, one page at a time, I write my story. I know I've succeeded when he grudgingly admits, 'That's pretty good.' And if I'm lucky, every once in a while, I blow him away.”

“La idea de que los seres vivos (y el Universo en su conjunto) hubieran sido creados por fuerzas sobrenaturales o deidades es tan antigua como nuestra propia capacidad para extraer conclusiones de lo que observamos, pues ésa es la explicación más sencilla ante la sensación de grandiosidad que produce la naturaleza que nos rodea.”
