Adam

“Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent.
Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent.
Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil?
Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?”
― Epicurus

“The greatest admission a human can make is that perhaps he does not have the intelligence, the vision, the grasp to fully understand the universe, and that perhaps no human ever will. To put it all down to some omnipotent deity is a cop-out. Factor in fairy tales of an afterlife and it becomes a comforting cop-out.”
― Neal Asher, The Line of Polity

“Never put off till tomorrow what may be done day after tomorrow just as well.”
― Mark Twain

“Sheep buggerers!" he roared. "I was only going to eat your women and rape your men until you did that!”
― Nathan Hawke, The Crimson Shield
