Theophilos, the light of reason that we both reverence is not a god. Neither does the highest development of the human mind confer divinity upon us. We may quote Aristotle one moment and in the next find ourselves betraying our wives and children'for the sake of passion, in the name of love'and not know how we arrived at that lamentable state. Reason is a gift of God but of itself cannot ennoble a man.
