Louis Pasteur, quoted in: Pharmaceutical Journal: A Weekly Record of Pharmacy and Allied Sciences (J. Churchill, 1908), p. 21
“
The idea of God I an idea of the form of the infinite. As long as the mystery of the Infinite weighs heavily on human though, temples will be erected for the worship of the Infinite, whether God be called 'Brahma,' 'Allah,' 'Jehovah,' or 'Jesus'; and on the pavement of those temples men will be seen kneeling, prostrate, annihilated, in the thought of the Infinite.
