Ambrose Bierce
Pray, v. To ask that the laws of the universe be annulled in behalf of a single petitioner, confessedly unworthy.”
Ambrose Bierce, The Unabridged Devil's Dictionary

Richard Dawkins
“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, The God Delusion

Winston S. Churchill
“He has all the virtues I dislike and none of the vices I admire."

[On British Labour politician Stafford Cripps.]
Winston S. Churchill, Wealth, War and Wisdom

Carl Sagan
“It is said that men may not be the dreams of the god, but rather that the gods are the dreams of men.”
Carl Sagan, Cosmos

Stanley Fish
“The purpose of a good education is to show you that there are three sides to a two-sided story.”
Stanley Fish
