“Religion is based primarily upon fear. It is partly the terror of the unknown and partly as the wish to feel that you have a kind of elder brother who will stand by you in all your troubles and disputes. Fear of the mysterious, fear of defeat, fear of death. Fear is the parent of cruelty, and therefore it is no wonder if cruelty and religion have gone hand in hand. It is because fear is at the basis of those two things. In this world we can now begin a little to understand things, and a little to master them by help of science, which has forced its way step by step against the opposition of all the old precepts. Science can help us to get over this craven fear in which mankind has lived for so many generations. Science can teach us, and I think our own hearts can teach us, no longer to look around for imaginary supports, no longer to invent allies in the sky, but rather to look to our own efforts here below to make this world a fit place to live in, instead of the place that the churches in all these centuries have made it.”
― Bertrand Russell, Why I Am Not a Christian and Other Essays on Religion and Related Subjects

“اگر تکه ای از زندگی می ماند کمتر می خوابیدم و بیشتر رویا می دیدم چون می دانستم هر دقیقه که چشمهایمان را بر هم می گذاریم ۶۰ ثانیه نور را از دست می دهیم .هنگامی که دیگران می ایستند من راه می رفتم و هنگامی که دیگران می خوابیدند بیدار می ماندم.
هنگامی که دیگران صحبت می کردند گوش می دادم و از خوردن یک بستنی لذت می بردم. اگر تکه ای زندگی به من ارزانی می شد لباسی ساده بر تن می کردم نخست به خورشید چشم می دوختم وسپس روحم را عریان می کردم. اگر دل در سینه ام همچنان می تپید؛ نفرتم را بر یخ می نوشتم وطلوع آفتاب را انتظار می کشیدم...!”
― Gabriel Garcí­a Márquez
