Religion, you can't a handle on it, you just have to know or not know-people either believe or they don't believe.

The God of the Old Testament is arguably the most unpleasant character in all fiction: jealous and proud of it; a petty, unjust, unforgiving control-freak; a vindictive, bloodthirsty ethnic cleanser; a misogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadomasochistic, capriciously malevolent bully.

Richard Dawkins

Minimalism seems closest to the sophisticated storytelling of movies. Movies have really educated contemporary audiences to be the most intelligent, sophisticated audiences in history. We don't any longer need to have the relationship between one scene and the next explained. We will figure it out ourselves.

Chuck Palahniuk

It's never the differences between people that surprise us. It's the things that, against all odds, we have in common.

Jodi Picoult

Republicans have been losing the war of words for years now. Now they are just caving because they don't even want to try. I don't agree with that approach.

Herman Cain

To understand the true quality of people, you must look into their minds, and examine their pursuits and aversions.

Marcus Aurelius

The urge to move is natural and understandable. As will be the case throughout your life, no matter how long or brief, the choice is, in the end, yours. Simply bear in mind that most every choice will have consequences, and in this instance those consequences would likely be quite grave.

Ron Currie Jr.

A good old man, sir. He will be talking. As they say, when the age is in, the wit is out.

William Shakespeare

Cosmic Ordering success sticks to you like mud to a blanket.

Stephen Richards

The gifts of an honorable, well-lived life are in those who will miss you once you're gone.

Don Williams, Jr

It is rather a problem of how to secure the best use of resources known to any of the members of society, for ends whose relative importance only those individuals know.

Friedrich August von Hayek

It's not only imagination, it's the distortion of the vision. You suddenly think, This person is idealistic, this person is strong, this person has dreams, when you know better most of the time. You put what you want to see on people.

Olivier Martinez

It must be the full confession by Christendom of Christendom's specific contribution to the sum of human cruelty and treachery.
