• Kosti : You sound like a very religious man who does not believe in God!

• Kosti : You're a rum one, Larry. But what about all the answers to those profound questions you've been asking yourself? Don't you know, people have been asking those same questions for thousands of years?

  Larry Darrell : Yes, but doesn't the fact that people *have* been asking those same questions for thousands of years only go to prove that they can't help asking?

  Kosti : Very good, very good. You're not altogether stupid. As a matter of fact, you sound like a very religious man who doesn't believe in God.

  Larry Darrell : I'm not sure that I believe in anything.

• Kosti : Enlightenment is the curse of civilization. A man who wastes his energy on knowledge is a fool. The more he learns, the more he wants and the more unhappy he becomes. Tear down the schoolhouses! Burn the books! Strangle the teachers! Then the world will get somewhere.

• Kosti : Very good. Very good. In fact, you sound like a very religious man who doesn't believe in god.
