He explored theological themes heavily in the later issues of Cerebus.

“Only men of moral and mental force, of a patriotic regard for the relationship of the two races, can be of real service as ministers in the South.

—Fannie Barrier Williams (1855–1944)
“A theology whose god is a metaphor is wasting its time.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“Englishmen are babes in philosophy and so prefer faction-fighting to the labour of its unfamiliar thought.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
