Voltaire
“Those who can make you believe absurdities, can make you commit atrocities.”
Voltaire

Aldous Huxley
“Ending is better than mending.”
Aldous Huxley, Brave New World

Neil Postman
“It is not necessary to conceal anything from a public insensible to contradiction and narcotized by technological diversions.”
Neil Postman, Amusing Ourselves to Death: Public Discourse in the Age of Show Business

Christopher Hitchens
“From Alan Lightman's intricate 1993 novel Einstein's Dreams; set in Berne in 1905: With infinite life comes an infinite list of relatives. Grandparents never die, nor do great-grandparents, great-aunts...and so on, back through the generations, all alive and offering advice. Sons never escape from the shadows of their fathers. Nor do daughters of their mothers. No one ever comes into his own...Such is the cost of immortality. No person is whole. No person is free.”
Christopher Hitchens, Mortality

Richard Dawkins
“There is something infantile in the presumption that somebody else has a responsibility to give your life meaning and point… The truly adult view, by contrast, is that our life is as meaningful, as full and as wonderful as we choose to make it.”
Richard Dawkins, The God Delusion
