The pagan Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, describing his faith in a letter to Jacobi:
"For myself, considering the manifold directions of my being, I cannot have enough of one way of thinking; as a poet and artist, I am a Polytheist, but as a naturalist, I am a Pantheist, and both just as decisively. If my personality as a moral human being requires a God, that is also already taken care of."
