"Materialists define concepts by concepts even more indefinite than what they define. For example: "The criterion of truthfulness is the possibility of rational activity." Defining matter, the world, movement and the relations between them, it offers statements much more incomprehensible than the concepts: soul, spirit, God.

""Materialiștii definesc conceptele prin concepte și mai indefinite decât ce definesc ele. De exemplu: „Criteriul veridicității este posibilitatea activității raționale." Definind materia, lumea, mișcarea și relațiile dintre ele, oferă afirmații mult mai de neînțeles decât conceptele: suflet, spirit, Dumnezeu."
