“Bernal Díaz del Castillo había sentenciado el destino de nuestro país [España, pero en realidad el mundo]: matarás y matarte han y matarán a quien te matare.”
Carlos Rojas, El Valle de los Caídos

Anthony Clifford Grayling
“Because being dead is indistinguishable – from a subjective perspective – from being unborn or from dreamless sleep, it can hold no terrors. What seems frightening is the act of dying. But dying is a living act, and as with any other such it might be pleasant or unpleasant. That is why the existence of ways to make dying easy – means of euthanasia – should be available to us all if we desire them. Death is what happens to other people. We experience dying for ourselves; but we experience death only in losing others, and the experience is one of grief and loss. Accordingly, our own deaths are no part of our personal experience: each of us experiences only life, of which dying is part. In this sense, from the subjective perspective we are immortal.”
Anthony Clifford Grayling

Dennis Altman
“Promiscuity' - a word best defined as anyone who has more sex than you.”
Dennis Altman, The End of the Homosexual?

“[T]he belief in men’s inherent sexual rigidity results in a bizarre circular logic: Men’s sexuality is rigid, hence heterosexual men do not engage in the same kind of homosexual contact that is possible for women; and when they do engage in homosexual contact, it must not be “sexual” because... men’s sexuality is rigid!”
Jane Ward, Not Gay: Sex Between Straight White Men

Walter Kaufmann
“The problem of evil is unanswerable if one believes that there is only one god and that he is omnipotent as well as infinitely good, merciful, and just. But as soon as one denies one or more of these premises, the problem disappears. The belief in two great gods, one good and one evil, is merely one way of doing that. Polytheism is another. Belief in only one god who is omnipotent but not infinitely good, just, and merciful is a third way. Belief in a god who has these moral qualities but who is not omnipotent is a fourth. Belief in no god at all, a fifth.”
Walter Kaufmann, Religions in Four Dimensions: Existential, Aesthetic, Historical, Comparative
