“We make an idol of our fear and that idol we call God.”
― Ingmar Bergman, The Seventh Seal

“Female is real, and it’s sex, and femininity is unreal, and it’s gender.”

“Only bad religions depend on mysteries, just as bad governments depend on secret police. Truth, beauty and goodness are not mysterious, they are the commonest, most obvious, most essential facts of life, like sunlight, air and bread. Only folk whose heads are muddled by expensive educations think truth, beauty, goodness are rare private properties. Nature is more liberal. The universe keeps nothing essential from us — it is all present, all gift. God is the universe plus mind. Those who say God, or the universe, or nature is mysterious, are like those who call these things jealous or angry. They are announcing the state of their lonely, muddled minds.”
― Alasdair Gray, Poor Things

“It doesn't matter how strong your opinions are. If you don't use your power for positive change, you are, indeed, part of the problem.”
