The modern American tourist now fills his experience with pseudo-events. He has come to expect both more strangeness and more familiarity than the world naturally offers.

What sets science and the law apart from religion is that nothing is expected to be taken on faith. We're encouraged to ask whether the evidence actually supports what we're being told - or what we grew up believing - and we're allowed to ask whether we're hearing all the evidence or just some small prejudicial part of it. If our beliefs aren't supported by the evidence, then we're encouraged to alter our beliefs.

Gary Taubes

The man whose whole activity is diverted to inner meditation becomes insensible to all his surroundings.

They are dissipated in futile imaginings, producing nothing external to themselves.

Emile Durkheim

Nothing except possibly love and death are of importance
