"Men who believe absurdities will commit atrocities." - Voltaire
"Men create gods after their own image, not only with regard to their form, but with regard to their mode of life." - Aristotle
There is no other life; life itself is only a vision and a dream for nothing exists but space and you. If there was an all-powerful God, he would have made all good, and no bad. - Mark Twain
(This one I can go both ways, of course. If this all-powerful god were to have made all good, there would be no consequence, no purpose in life... not necessarily anyhow. If there were no good and evil, how could he be worshiped and praised for "saving" the people? A creator shoots for perfection, but also aims for balance.)
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. - Carl Sagan
The heart of the question is whether all Americans are to be afforded equal rights and equal opportunities... Those who do nothing are inviting shame and violence. Those who act boldly are recognizing right as well as reality. - John F. Kennedy
Punish me. I do not deserve it. But because I do not deserve it, I will accept it so that the world will know that I am right and you are wrong. - Anonymous southern slave
“To fly as fast as thought, to anywhere that is,” he said,”you must begin by knowing that you have already arrived…” - Jonathan Livingston Seagull
