“…this foundation [John Templeton], with a capital of more than one billion, distributes tens of millions each year to researchers who want to study the links between science, religion and spirituality. . . Because if faith moves mountains, money does it more easily ("Car si la foi déplace des montagnes, l’argent le fait plus facilement.") ”

“Early on, I learnt from the Russian intelligentsia that the only meaning of life lies in conscious participation in the making of history. The more I think of that, the more deeply true it seems to be. It follows that one must range oneself actively against everything that diminishes man, and involve oneself in all struggles which tend to liberate and enlarge him. This categorical imperative is by no way lessened by the fact that such an involvement is inevitably soiled by error: it is a worse error merely to live for oneself, caught within traditions which are soiled by inhumanity.”
― Victor Serge, Memoirs of a Revolutionary

“Le doute méthodique est d'ordinaire le signe d'une bonne santé mentale : c'est pourquoi des soldats harassés, au coeur trouble ne pouvaient le pratiquer”
