Adam Gopnik
“We use the metaphor of waves that rise and fall in societies, perhaps forgetting that the actual waves of the ocean are purely opportunistic, small irregularities in water that, snagging a fortunate gust, rise and break like monsters, for no greater cause than their own accidental invention.”
Adam Gopnik

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

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

Mario Vargas Llosa
“La literatura es puro artificio, pero la gran literatura consigue disimularlo y la mediocre lo delata.”
Mario Vargas Llosa, Cartas a un joven novelista

“[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
