What am I? A part of the infinite. It is indeed in these words that the whole problem lies. ... And the cause of everything is that which we call God. To know God and to live is the same thing. God is Life. .. True religion is that relationship, in accordance with reason and knowledge, which man establishes with the infinite world around him, and which binds his life to that infinity and guides his actions .. and leads to the practical rules of the law: do to others as you would have them do unto you. (Leo Tolstoy, Confessions)
