“Λυπούμαι γιατί άφησα να περάσει ένα πλατύ ποτάμι μέσα από τα δάχτυλά μου χωρίς να πιω ούτε μια στάλα. Τώρα βυθίζομαι στην πέτρα. Ένα μικρό πεύκο στο κόκκινο χώμα, δεν έχω άλλη συντροφιά. Ό,τι αγάπησα χάθηκε μαζί με τα σπίτια που ήταν καινούργια το περασμένο καλοκαίρι και γκρέμισαν με τον αγέρα του φθινοπώρου. ("Μυθιστόρημα", 1935, ΙΗ')”

“Plain speaking is necessary in any discussion of religion, for if the freethinker attacks the religious dogmas with hesitation, the orthodox believer assumes that it is with regret that the freethinker would remove the crutch that supports the orthodox. And all religious beliefs are 'crutches' hindering the free locomotive efforts of an advancing humanity. There are no problems related to human progress and happiness in this age which any theology can solve, and which the teachings of freethought cannot do better and without the aid of encumbrances.”

“His palm presses against my cheek, stroking away stray strands of hair, “Eve, I’ve never been so scared. The thought that I’d never get to see you again, to apologise for the way I treated you, I couldn’t bear it. When they dragged you out I was so relieved, knowing that I had a chance to get you back.” He squeezes me tightly against his body as he admits, “I can’t lose you Eve. Them taking you made everything so clear. I love you and I thought I wasn’t going to get the chance to prove how much. I couldn’t let that happen.”
