“The problem was you had to keep choosing between one evil or another, and no matter what you chose, they sliced a little more off you, until there was nothing left.

― Charles Bukowski, Ham on Rye

“Science flies you to the moon. Religion flies you into buildings.”
― Victor Stenger

“If you aren't unhappy sometimes you don't know how to be happy.”
― Madeleine L'Engle, A Wrinkle in Time
