“Arguments cannot be answered by personal abuse; there is no logic in slander, and falsehood, in the long run, defeats itself.”
― Robert G. Ingersoll, Some Mistakes of Moses

“Desire! That’s the one secret of every man’s career. Not education. Not being born with hidden talents. Desire.”
― Johnny Carson

“It's perfectly clear to me that religion is a myth. It's something we have invented to explain the inexplicable. My religion and the spiritual side of my life come from a sense of connection to the humankind and nature on this planet and in the universe. I am in overwhelming awe of it all: It is so fantastic, so complex, so beyond comprehension. What does it all mean -- if it has any meaning at all? But how can it all exist if it doesn't have some kind of meaning? I think anyone who suggests that they have the answer is motivated by the need to invent answers, because we have no such answers.”
― Hugh Hefner

“I pursued education not instead of being a good mother, but because being a good mother required that I build a better life for my family.”
― Wendy Davis
