“Whether or not you believe in God, you must believe this: when we as a species abandon our trust in a power greater than us, we abandon our sense of accountability. Faiths… all faiths… are admonitions that there is something we cannot understand, something to which we are accountable. With faith we are accountable to each other, to ourselves, and to a higher truth. Religion is flawed, but only because man is flawed. The church consists of a brotherhood of imperfect, simple souls wanting only to be a voice of compassion in a world spinning out of control.”
― Dan Brown, Angels & Demons

“Nobody realizes that some people expend tremendous energy merely to be normal.”
― Albert Camus

“Like most misery, it started with apparent happiness.”
― Markus Zusak, The Book Thief

“Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes.”
