Books won't stay banned. They won't burn. Ideas won't go to jail.
Alfred Whitney Griswold
Image
Books won't stay banned. They won't burn. Ideas won't go to jail. In the long run of history, the censor and the inquisitor have always lost. The only sure weapon against bad ideas is better ideas. The source of better ideas is wisdom. The surest path to wisdom is a liberal education.
Alfred Whitney Griswold
Image
There may be fairies at the bottom of the garden. There is no evidence for it, but you can't prove that there aren't any, so shouldn't we be agnostic with respect to fairies?
Richard Dawkins
Image
Religion is the last refuge of human savagery.
Alfred North Whitehead
Image
But the churchmen fain would kill their church, As the churches have kill'd their Christ.
Alfred Lord Tennyson
Image
This round of green, this orb of flame, Fantastic beauty such as lurks In some wild poet, when he works Without a conscience or an aim.
Alfred Lord Tennyson

Faith can remove a mountain, but doubt can put it back in place again

No one ever dies an atheist.
Plato

They all attributed the peaceful dominion of religion in their country mainly to the separation of church and state. I do not hesitate to affirm that during my stay in America I did not meet a single individual, of the clergy or the laity, who was not of the same opinion on this point.
Alexis de Tocqueville

I don't think that the laws can be considered to be like God because they have been figured out.
Richard P. Feynman

I really believe in non-violence, but I also believe in a short of resistance that has to be respectful.
Alexandra Paul

I believe God created the world for a purpose. The Designer of intelligent design is, ultimately, the Christian God.
William A. Dembski
Image
How some dare scorn (as if a fabulous lie) that they should rise whom death to dust doth bind -- and like to beasts, a beastly life they lead, who naught attend save death when they are dead.
William Alexander, 1st Earl of Stirling
Image
It is hard to think of anything more vile than to intentionally desecrate the Body of Christ.
William Anthony Donohue
Image
Now hollow fires burn out to black, And lights are fluttering low: Square your shoulders, lift your pack And leave your friends and go. O never fear, lads, naught's to dread, Look not to left nor right: In all the endless road you tread There's nothing but the night.
Alexander Pope
Image
Who breaks a butterfly on a wheel?
Alexander Pope
Image
Placed on this isthmus of a middle state, A being darkly wise and rudely great... He hangs between in doubt to act or rest In doubt to deem himself a god, or beast In doubt his mind or body to prefer Born to die, and reasoning but to err.
Alexander Pope
Image
Until the content of a belief is made clear, the appeal to accept the belief on faith is beside the point, for one would not know what one has accepted. The request for the meaning of a religious belief is logically prior to the question of accepting that belief on faith or to the question of whether that belief constitutes knowledge.
William Blackstone
Image
The Constitution established the United States of America as a Christian nation.
John McCain
Image
One of the great tragedies of mankind is that morality has been hijacked by religion.
Arthur C. Clarke
Image
He who desires, but acts not, breeds pestilence.
William Blake
Image
Then the Parson might preach, & drink, & sing, And we'd be as happy as birds in the spring And modest dame Lurch, who is always at Church, Would not have bandy children, nor fasting, nor birch.
William Blake
Image
'Come hither, my boy, tell me what thou seest there?' 'A fool tangled in a religious snare.'
William Blake

Fools rush in where angels fear to tread.
