Raymond Khoury
“They don’t understand that religion and science are there to serve different purposes. We need science to understand how everything on this planet and beyond works – us, nature, everything we see around us. That’s fact – no one with a working brain can question that. But we also need religion. Not for ridiculous counter-theories about things that science can prove. We need it for something else, to fill a different kind of need. The need for meaning. It’s a basic need we have, as humans. And it’s a need that’s beyond the realm of science. Your scientists don’t understand that it’s a need they can’t fulfill no matter how many Hadron colliders and Hubble telescopes they build- and your preachers don’[t understand that their job is to help you discover a personal, inner sense of meaning and not behave like a bunch of zealots intent on converting the rest of the planet to their rigid, literalist view of how everyone should live their lives.”
Raymond Khoury, The Sign

“Your fears are a kind of prison that confines you within a limited range of action. The less you fear, the more power you will have and the more fully you will live.”
Robert Greene, The 50th Law: Overcoming Adversity Through Fearlessness

Philippa Gregory
“A man will always promise to do more than he can do to a woman he cannot understand.”
Philippa Gregory, The White Queen

“There is nothing that sickens a country more than its own people fighting against one another. It destroys families; it is killing us daily.”
Philippa Gregory, The White Queen

Robert Greene
“What excites me about America is its social mobility, people continually rising from the bottom to the top and altering the culture in the process. On another level, however, we remain a nation that lives in social ghettos. Celebrities generally congregate around other celebrities; academics and intellectuals are cloistered in their worlds; people like to associate with those of their kind. If we leave these narrow worlds, it is usually as an observer of another way of life.”
Robert Greene, The 50th Law: Overcoming Adversity Through Fearlessness
