    “I am against religion because it teaches us to be satisfied with not understanding the world.” – Richard Dawkins.

    "The president of the United States has claimed, on more than one occasion, to be in dialogue with God. If he said that he was talking to God through his hairdryer, this would precipitate a national emergency. I fail to see how the addition of a hairdryer makes the claim more ridiculous or offensive." — Sam Harris (Letter to a Christian Nation)

    “What need is there to weep over parts of life … the whole of it calls for tears – Lucius Annaeus Seneca

    My favorite Hitchens quote –

    “Islam makes very large claims for itself. In its art, there is a prejudice against representing the human form at all. The prohibition on picturing the prophet – who was only another male mammal – is apparently absolute. So is the prohibition on pork or alcohol or, in some Muslim societies, music or dancing. Very well then, let a good Muslim abstain rigorously from all these. But if he claims the right to make me abstain as well, he offers the clearest possible warning and proof of an aggressive intent.”

    straight from my facebook page:

    "Capitalism is organised crime, and we are all its victims." – The Refused, The Shape of Punk to Come

    "The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing." – Albert Einstein.

    "The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated" – Gandhi.

    "How does it make you feel, to take a life in just one meal?" – The Vandals.

    "I thought of that while riding my bike" – Albert Einstein (on the theory of relativity.)

    "“When we look at modern man, we have to face the fact that modern man suffers from a kind of poverty of the spirit, which stands in glaring contrast with a scientific and technological abundance. We've learned to fly the air as birds, we've learned to swim the seas as fish, yet we haven't learned to walk the Earth as brothers and sisters.” – Martin Luther King
