“Religion is probably, after sex, the second oldest resource which human beings have available to them for blowing their mind.”
― Susan Sontag, Styles of Radical Will

“Above all, don't lie to yourself. The man who lies to himself and listens to his own lie comes to a point that he cannot distinguish the truth within him, or around him, and so loses all respect for himself and for others. And having no respect he ceases to love.”
― Fyodor Dostoevsky, The Brothers Karamazov
