James Randi
“There is a distinct difference between having an open mind and having a hole in your head from which your brain leaks out.”
James Randi

James Randi
“Yes, I'm a materialist. I'm willing to be shown wrong, but that has not happened — yet. And I admit that the reason I'm unable to accept the claims of psychic, occult, and/or supernatural wonders is because I'm locked into a world-view that demands evidence rather than blind faith, a view that insists upon the replication of all experiments — particularly those that appear to show violations of a rational world — and a view which requires open examination of the methods used to carry out those experiments.”
James Randi

“Ben Franklin said it well: "Quacks are the greatest liars in the world, except their patients.”
James Randi, Flim-Flam! Psychics, ESP, Unicorns, and Other Delusions

Richard Dawkins
“Isaac Asimov's remark about the infantilism of pseudoscience is just as applicable to religion: 'Inspect every piece of pseudoscience and you will find a security blanket, a thumb to suck, a skirt to hold.' It is astonishing, moreover, how many people are unable to understand that 'X is comforting' does not imply 'X is true'.”
Richard Dawkins, The God Delusion

James Randi
“There used to be an intellectual class in America. . . . These people kept the world of ideas alive. But today the distinction between intellectuals and nonintellectuals doesn’t make any difference; celebrity is the only standard. . . . Everybody has become a talker of cheap philosophy that anybody can pick up.”
James Randi, The Faith Healers
