Beauty is a short-lived tyranny.
-Socrates
When is life an evil? When it offers a man nothing but suffering and pain.
-Napoleon Bonaparte
Life every man holds dear; but the dear man holds honor far more precious dear than life.
-William Shakespeare
My best advice to anyone who wants to raise a happy, mentally healthy child is: Keep him or her as far away from a church as you can.
-Frank Zappa
There is a bridge between time and Eternity; and this bridge is Atman, the Spirit of man. Neither day nor night crosses that bridge, nor old age, nor death nor sorrow.
Progress is born of doubt and inquiry. The Church never doubts, never inquires. To doubt is heresy, to inquire is to admit that you do not know—the Church does neither.
-Robert G. Ingersoll
