“Proselytizing is a moral imperative and feeds the marketplace of ideas. I want to hear everyone tell the truth as they see it. I want to learn from everyone.”
― Penn Jillette, God, No! Signs You May Already Be an Atheist and Other Magical Tales

“Selection is both revolutionary and disturbing for the same reason: it explains apparent design in nature by a purely materialistic process that doesn't require creation or guidance by supernatural forces.”
― Jerry A. Coyne, Why Evolution Is True

“The greatest thing about provable reality is that by definition reality is shared. Every argument is really an agreement—an agreement that there is a reality that can be shared, judged, and discussed. To argue over whether the speed of light is constant or Batman could beat up the Lone Ranger is to share the parameters. God is solipsistic; reality is shared.”
― Penn Jillette, God, No! Signs You May Already Be an Atheist and Other Magical Tales

“Fui de uno a otro, llevando en las manos mi dolor—no, no mi dolor sino la inaprehensible naturaleza de nuestro vivir— para que lo inspeccionaran. Algunos acuden a los sacerdotes, yo acudo a mis amigos y a mi propio corazón, y busco por entre frases y fragmentos algo que aún no esté quebrado, yo, para quien no hay belleza bastante en la luna o árbol, para quien el contacto de una persona con otra lo es todo, pero que ni siquiera esto puedo comprender, yo que soy tan imperfecto tan débil, tan indeciblemente solo. Ahí estaba.”
― Virginia Woolf, The Waves
