“I know of no society in human history that ever suffered because its people became too desirous of evidence in support of their core beliefs.”
― Letter to a Christian Nation

“Good sense is, of all things among men, the most equally distributed; for every one thinks himself so abundantly provided with it, that those even who are the most difficult to satisfy in everything else, do not usually desire a larger measure of this quality than they already possess.”
― Discourse on the Method of Rightly Conducting the Reason, and Seeking Truth in the Sciences

“Grown-ups don't look like grown-ups on the inside either. Outside, they're big and thoughtless and they always know what they're doing. Inside, they look just like they always have. Like they did when they were your age. Truth is, there aren't any grown-ups. Not one, in the whole wide world.”

“There are no faster or firmer friendships than those formed between people who love the same books.”
― Clarence Darrow for the Defense

“Read, read, read. Read everything -- trash, classics, good and bad, and see how they do it. Just like a carpenter who works as an apprentice and studies the master. Read! You'll absorb it.
Then write. If it's good, you'll find out. If it's not, throw it out of the window.”
