Richard Dawkins
“The meme for blind faith secures its own perpetuation by the simple unconscious expedient of discouraging rational inquiry.”
Richard Dawkins, The Selfish Gene

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

Bertrand Russell
“I would never die for my beliefs because I might be wrong.”
Bertrand Russell

Richard Dawkins
“Unfortunately, however much we may deplore something, it does not stop being true.”
Richard Dawkins, The Selfish Gene

Neil Postman
“Voting, we might even say, is the next to last refuge of the politically impotent. The last refuge is, of course, giving your opinion to a pollster, who will get a version of it through a desiccated question, and then will submerge it in a Niagara of similar opinions, and convert them into--what else?--another piece of news. Thus we have here a great loop of impotence: The news elicits from you a variety of opinions about which you can do nothing except to offer them as more news, about which you can do nothing.”
Neil Postman, Amusing Ourselves to Death: Public Discourse in the Age of Show Business
