If you suspect that my interest in the Bible is going to inspire me with sudden enthusiasm for Judaism and make me a convert of mountain‐moving fervor and that I shall suddenly grow long earlocks and learn Hebrew and go about denouncing the heathen — you little know the effect of the Bible on me.

It interprets "If you suspect that my interest in the Bible is going to inspire me with sudden enthusiasm for Judaism and make me a convert of mountain‐moving fervor and that I shall suddenly grow long earlocks and learn Hebrew and go about denouncing the heathen — you little know the effect of the Bible on me. Properly read, it is the most potent force for atheism ever conceived." in the context of "Isaac Asimov, quoted in Asimov, Janet Jeppson (2006-06-06), Notes for a Memoir: On Isaac Asimov, Life, and Writing, (1st ed.) page: 58, place: Amherst, publisher: Prometheus, ISBN: 978-1591024057, LCCN: 2006003368" to mean that wisdom is timeless.
