Lawrence Freedman
“The point at which God asserted his greatness to his chosen people was when he arranged the escape of the Jews from Egypt, where they were kept as slaves. One reading of the story of Exodus is that it was not so much about freeing the Israelites from slavery as about asserting God’s greatness by establishing a people beholden to him and ensuring that they—and others—were in awe of his power. Under this interpretation, the Exodus story becomes a gigantic manipulation.”
Lawrence Freedman, Strategy: A History

Carl Sagan
“But in introducing me simultaneously to skepticism and to wonder, they taught me the two uneasily cohabiting modes of thought that are central to the scientific method.”
Carl Sagan, The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark

Lawrence Freedman
“The brain consumes 20 percent of the body’s energy, far more than any other organ, while making up only 2 percent of an adult’s body weight.”
Lawrence Freedman, Strategy: A History

Ayn Rand
“monopolio de la religión en el ámbito de la ética ha hecho muy difícil transmitir el significado y las connotaciones emocionales de una visión racional de la vida. Del mismo modo que la religión se adelantó al campo de la ética e hizo que la moralidad fuese en contra del hombre, también usurpó los conceptos más elevados de nuestro lenguaje y los situó en lo extraterrenal, fuera del alcance del hombre. «Exaltación» se suele interpretar como un estado emocional evocado por la contemplación de lo sobrenatural. «Adoración» significa la experiencia emocional de lealtad y dedicación a algo superior al hombre. «Reverencia» significa la emoción de un respeto sagrado, que uno ha de experimentar de rodillas. «Sagrado» significa lo superior y lo intocable en todo lo concerniente al hombre o a esta tierra, etcétera.”
Ayn Rand, El manantial
