"He stopped in front of the snow flower. He bent down, watching. What makes a snow flower like this? What makes it so white? What makes your greens green? What makes them come out from under the ground? Does God do this? Someone has to do all this, that's for sure. Because how could a flower grow out of the ground by itself? How would it be a bird? And who would teach the birds to make so many beautiful sounds? And who would paint their feathers in so many beautiful colors, the feathers of the birds and the petals of the flowers and the trees and the sunbeams and everything, if not the Good Lord?

""Megállt a hóvirág előtt. Lehajolt, nézte. Mitől ilyen a hóvirág? Mitől ilyen fehér? Mitől zöld a zöldje? Mitől búvik elő a föld alól? Ezt a Jóisten csinálja? Valaki kell csinálja mindezt, az biztos. Mert magától miképpen nőhetne ki virág a földből? Miképpen lenne madár? És ki tanítaná meg a madarakat annyi szép hangra? És ki festené meg a tollukat annyi mindenféle szép színre, a madarak tollát és a virágok szirmát és a fákat és a napsugarakat és mindent, ha nem a Jóisten?"
