“If the immediate and direct purpose of our life is not suffering then our existence is the most Ill-adapted to its purpose in the world: for it is absurd to suppose that the endless affliction of which the world is everywhere full, and which arises out of the need and distress pertaining essentially to life, should be purposeless and purely accidental. Each individual misfortune, to be sure, seems an exceptional occurrence; but misfortune in general is the rule.”
― Arthur Schopenhauer

“One believes things because one has been conditioned to believe them.”
― Aldous Huxley, Brave New World

“Science doesn't make it impossible to believe in God, it just makes it possible not to believe in God”
― Steven Weinberg

“One of the great achievements of science has been, if not to make it impossible for intelligent people to be religious, then at least to make it possible for them not to be religious. We should not retreat from this accomplishment.”
― Steven Weinberg
