"Old Lights termasuk kaum fundamentalis yang bangkit kembali dalam setiap agama yang membekukan sejarah dan memperkuat para penganutnya terhadap "zaman kegelapan baru" di mana mereka dipaksa untuk hidup. "Kembali ke Alkitab," Old Lights berteriak; "kembali ke Alquran," Guntur Lampu Tua. Tapi tidak semua yang dikatakan Old Lights salah. Banyak yang benar. Bahkan jam yang berhenti tepat dua kali sehari, pepatah lama mengingatkan kita."

Versi Bahasa Inggris

Old Lights include the resurgent fundamentalists in every religion who put a freeze on history and fortify their adherents against the "new dark age" in which they are forced to live. "Back to the Bible," Old Lights shout; "back to the Koran," Old Lights thunder. But not everything Old Lights say is wrong. Much is right. Even a stopped clock is right twice a day, the old adage reminds us.
