Reakce na Augustýnův výrok “Nevěřil bych evangeliu, kdyby mne k tomu nepobízela autorita církve.“
Originál: (en) We believe in God and in Christ, not in the Church. (…) I do not accord Augustine's word too much weight, because ultimately it is Christ I must believe in, and not Augustine. (…) It is much better to abandon Augustine than Christ.

„Respektuji církve kvůli posvátnosti, která jim byla v průběhu let kladena lidmi, kteří věří. Ale myslím, že se ve jménu církve a ve jménu Krista stalo mnoho špatných věcí.“
Originál
I respect churches because of the sacredness that's been put on them over the years by people who do believe. But I think a lot of bad things have happened in the name of the church and in the name of Christ.

Kontext: I don't need to go to church. I respect churches because of the sacredness that's been put on them over the years by people who do believe. But I think a lot of bad things have happened in the name of the church and in the name of Christ. Therefore I shy away from church, and as Donovan once said, "I go to my own church in my own temple once a day." And I think people who need a church should go. And the others who know the church is in your own head should visit that temple because that's where the source is. We're all God. Christ said, "The Kingdom of Heaven is within you." And the Indians say that and the Zen people say that. We're all God. I'm not a god or the God, but we're all God and we're all potentially divine — and potentially evil. We all have everything within us and the Kingdom of Heaven is nigh and within us, and if you look hard enough you'll see it.

„Neočekávané se v mém životě stalo tak nepřetržitě, že si to jméno nezasloužilo.“
„Pokud je vaše jméno špatné, máte na výběr dvě možnosti: jméno změnit nebo si z něj udělat legraci.“
Originál: (en) It costs something to be a true Christian. Let that never be forgotten. To be a mere nominal Christian, and go to church, is cheap and easy work. But to hear Christ's voice, and follow Christ, and believe in Christ, and confess Christ, requires much self-denial. It will cost us our sins, our self-righteousness, our ease and our worldliness.
