I know not how I seem to others, but to myself I am but a small child wandering upon the vast shores of knowledge, every now and then finding a small bright pebble to content myself with while the vast ocean of undiscovered truth lay before me.
Isaac Newton

Louis Pasteur

12.
Although I know of no reference to Christ ever commenting on scientific work, I do know that He said, "Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." Thus I am certain that, were He among us today, Christ would encourage scientific research as modern man's most noble striving to comprehend and admire His Father's handiwork. The universe as revealed through scientific inquiry is the living witness that God has indeed been at work.
Wernher von Braun

It is not God that is venerated but the organization or power that pretends to speak in His stead. Transgression becomes insubordination to authority not breach of morality.
16.
The number one cause of atheism is Christians. Those who proclaim Him with their mouths and deny Him with their actions is what an unbelieving world finds unbelievable.

The primary root of unbelief is often the inconsistency of those who claim to be devotees of the divine; speaking of Him with reverence yet denying His precepts through their behavior, which others find inconceivable.
17.
I have no idea of submitting tamely to injustice inflicted either on me or on the slave. I will oppose it with all the moral powers with which I am endowed. I am no advocate of passivity.
Lucretia Mott
I will never acquiesce to injustice inflicted on either myself or the enslaved. I am determined to use every moral capacity I possess to oppose it. I vehemently reject passivity as an option.

Marquis de Sade
29.
Open your mouth and shut your eyes and see what Zeus will send you.
Aristophanes
30.
One of the most constant characteristics of beliefs is their intolerance. The stronger the belief, the greater its intolerance. Men dominated by a certitude cannot tolerate those who do not accept it.
Gustave Le Bon
31.
When they have opened a gap in the ... wall of separation between the Garden of the Church and the wildernes of the world, God hath ever ... made his Garden a Wildernesse.

Gustave Le Bon

Christopher Hitchens
35.
No matter whether you claim a slave by purchase or capture, the title is bad. They who claim to own their fellow-men, look down into the pit and forget the justice that should rule the world.
Zeno of Citium
36.
There is no absolute up or down, as Aristotle taught; no absolute position in space; but the position of a body is relative to that of other bodies. Everywhere there is incessant relative change in position throughout the universe, and the observer is always at the center of things.
Giordano Bruno
37.
What is objectionable, what is dangerous, about extremists is not that they are extreme, but that they are intolerant. The evil is not what they say about their cause, but what they say about their opponents.
Robert Kennedy
38.
You don't get rich writing science fiction. If you want to get rich, you start a religion.
L. Ron Hubbard
39.
Theologians are all alike, of whatever religion or country they may be; their aim is always to wield despotic authority over men's consciences; they therefore persecute all of us who have the temerity to tell the truth.
Frederick The Great
40.
Atheism, I began to realize, rested on a less-than-satisfactory evidential basis. The arguments that had once seemed bold, decisive, and conclusive increasingly turned out to be circular, tentative, and uncertain.
Alister E. McGrath
41.
God [is] the author of the universe, and the free establisher of the laws of motion.
Robert Boyle

There are no dangerous thoughts; thinking itself is dangerous.
Hannah Arendt
45.
Do you not know that every religion in the world has declared every other religion a fraud? Yes, we all know it. That is the time all religions tell the truth - each of the other.
Robert Green Ingersoll
46.
I'm not an athiest. How can you not believe in something that doesn't exist? That's way too convoluted for me.
A. Whitney Brown
