You've a right to believe that we're governed by Nature and the hidden Force within her. You can think that the gods, including my Melitele, are merely a personification of this power invented for simpletons so they can understand it better, accept its existence. According to you, that power is blind. But for me, Geralt, faith allows you to expect what my goddess personifies from nature: order, law, goodness. And hope. Andrzej Sapkowski
About This Quote

Like many people, Geralt did not believe in the gods. He did not believe in the gods because of reason or evidence. He believed in the gods because they existed, and human beings needed something to believe in. He believed in the gods because it gave him hope and allowed him to put his faith into something greater than himself. He believed that the course of true justice would be set by the gods when they took action, and that he could expect some sort of reward when things turned out well for him in the end.
