There's naught, no doubt, so much the spirit calms as rum and true religion.

The style of God venerated in the church, mosque, or synagogue seems completely different from the style of the natural universe.

Alan Watts

Kurt Vonnegut

I went to Catholic high school for half a year and religion wasn't the cool thing to talk about even at a catholic high school. It never came up.

Myths are about the human struggle to deal with the great passages of time and life - birth, death, marriage, the transitions from childhood to adulthood to old age. They meet a need in the psychological or spiritual nature of humans that has absolutely nothing to do with science. To try to turn a myth into a science, or a science into a myth, is an insult to myths, an insult to religion, and an insult to science. In attempting to do this, creationists have missed the significance, meaning, and sublime nature of myths. They took a beautiful story of creation and re-creation and ruined it.

Miranda Lambert

You'll find truth in your looking glass, not on the tongues of men.

George R. R. Martin

A wedding is a funeral where you smell your own flowers.

Eddie Cantor

The sky is not less blue because the blind man does not see it.

Danish proverb

Suffering isn't ennobling, recovery is.

Christiaan Barnard

You can always get the truth from an American statesman after he has turned seventy, or given up all hope of the Presidency.
