Note 98 — Chapter VII
Reading edition
"There are some things I know and some things I believe," said the Syrian; "I know that I have a soul, and I believe that it is immortal." ...
"I wish I could assure myself of the personality of the Creator," said Lothair; "I cling to that, but they say it is unphilosophical!" "In what sense," asked the Syrian, "is it more unphilosophical to believe in a personal God, omnipotent and omniscient, than in natural forces, unconscious and irresistible? Is it unphilosophical to combine power with intelligence?"—Disraeli's "Lothair."
