Heraclitus
“Those who love wisdom must investigate many things”
Heraclitus

Kurt Vonnegut Jr.
“For some reason, the most vocal Christians among us never mention the Beatitudes (Matthew 5). But, often with tears in their eyes, they demand that the Ten Commandments be posted in public buildings. And of course, that's Moses, not Jesus. I haven't heard one of them demand that the Sermon on the Mount, the Beatitudes, be posted anywhere. 'Blessed are the merciful' in a courtroom? 'Blessed are the peacemakers' in the Pentagon? Give me a break!”
Kurt Vonnegut, A Man Without a Country

Milan Kundera
“The struggle of man against power is the struggle of memory against forgetting”
Milan Kundera, The Book of Laughter and Forgetting

Rod Serling
“There is nothing in the dark that isn't there when the lights are on.”
Rod Serling

Christopher Hitchens
“If we stay with animal analogies for a moment, owners of dogs will have noticed that, if you provide them with food and water and shelter and affection, they will think you are god. Whereas owners of cats are compelled to realize that, if you provide them with food and water and shelter and affection, they draw the conclusion that they are god. (Cats may sometimes share the cold entrails of a kill with you, but this is just what a god might do if he was in a good mood.)”
Christopher Hitchens, The Portable Atheist: Essential Readings for the Nonbeliever
