The modern habit of saying "Every man has a different philosophy;
this is my philosophy and its suits me"; the habit of saying this
is mere weak-mindedness. A cosmic philosophy is not constructed
to fit a man; a cosmic philosophy is constructed to fit a cosmos.
A man can no more possess a private religion than he can possess
a private sun and moon.
-G.K.C. as M.C. (1929), "Introduction to the Book of Job"
(This particular introduction to Job originally published in 1907)
