Carl Sagan
“And yet, the chief deficiency I see in the sceptical movement is in its polarization: Us v. Them - the sense that we have a monopoly on the truth; that those other people who believe in all these stupid doctrines are morons; that if you’re sensible, you’ll listen to us; and if not, you’re beyond redemption. This is unconstructive. It does not get the message across. It condemns the sceptics to permanent minority status; whereas, a compassionate approach that from the beginning acknowledges the human roots of pseudoscience and superstition might be much more widely accepted.”
Carl Sagan, The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark

Alan W. Watts
“The common error of ordinary religious practice is to mistake the symbol for the reality, to look at the finger pointing the way and then to suck it for comfort rather than follow it.”
Alan Watts

William Shakespeare
“Mercy but murders pardoning those who kill.”
William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare
“Hell is empty and all the devils are here.”
William Shakespeare, The Tempest

Alexander Hamilton
“Is it not the glory of the people of America, that, whilst they have paid a decent regard to the opinions of former times and other nations, they have not suffered a blind veneration for antiquity, for custom, or for names, to overrule the suggestions of their own good sense, the knowledge of their own situation, and the lessons of their own experience?”
Alexander Hamilton, The Federalist Papers
