The Church of the New Epoch campaign features a collection of quotes at the end of each mission briefing, all said to come from "The Book of Cataclysm".
You can find ALL of these quotations here. But remember that reading them during the campaign will give you more fun than reading them here ;)

"When shall we achieve immortality?"
And the Master answered, "Not in this life."

blinded him with fire-irons.
Follow the more successful thief and steal his ideas.
"Here!" said the Master. "Build me a great tomb in this place."
His apprentices did. It glittered in the sun. "Now go inside," said he.
They entered. An earthquake then destroyed the tomb, burying those within.

"This is called sacrifice."
Even the salamander sometimes burns.

a dot of monochrome light, projected onto the back of a neck.
All knowledge is stored somewhere. Be it in books, heads or deep under glaciers.
And when we find it, we make it ours. Faith is bricks; knowledge is mortar.
He who shouts loudest can only hear his own voice. Those with true knowledge
listen to those with true faith. And those with closed ears never hear the swing
of the reaper's blade.

"Where do you get your so-called faith?" they asked.
"You brought it," the master replied. "You've all climbed so high."

When you're sure, question everything."

When the greatest force is required, use your head. Surprise is everything.
