When the male of the species, enamored of his stargazing, set up a God outside this planet as arbiter of all events upon it, and repudiated nature, together with sex, for a promised dream of a future life, he turned his back on the creative life and inspiration that lay within himself and his partnership with woman.

as quoted in Huberman, The Quotable Atheist, p. 262
