Some of my favorite quotes (screw facebooks limit)
Two hands working can do more than a thousand clasped in prayer. -Anonymous
“Do you think that, if you were granted omnipotence and omniscience and millions of years in which to perfect your world, you could produce nothing better than the Ku Klux Klan, the Fascisti, and Mr. Winston Churchill?” -Bertrand Russell
I can live with doubt and uncertainty and not knowing. I think it’s much more interesting to live not knowing than to have answers which might be wrong. I have approximate answers and possible beliefs and different degrees of certainty about different things, but I’m not absolutely sure of anything. For many things I don’t know anything about, such as whether it means anything to ask why we’re here. … But i don’t have to know an answer. I don’t feel frightened by not knowing things. By being lost in a mysterious universe without having any purpose, which is the way it really is as far as I can tell, possibly. It doesn’t frighten me.” – Richard Feynman
“Faith is the great cop-out, the great excuse to evade the need to think and evaluate evidence. Faith is belief in spite of, even perhaps because of, the lack of evidence.” – Richard Dawkins
“Moreover, “fact” does not mean “absolute certainty.” The final proofs of logic and mathematics flow deductively from stated premises and achieve certainty only because they are not about the empirical world. Evolutionists make no claim for perpetual truth, though creationists often do (and then attack us for a style of argument that they themselves favor). In science, “fact” can only mean “confirmed to such a degree that it would be perverse to withhold provisional assent.” I suppose that apples might start to rise tomorrow, but the possibility does not merit equal time in physics classrooms.” – Stephen Jay Gould
“Why is it that what religion is “true” depends on what geographical location you are, while scientific laws are true no matter where you are? (Mecca and the Vatican may have different gods, but gravity works the same in both places)” – Unknown
“Leave the matter of religion to the family altar, the church, and the private schools, supported entirely by private contributions. Keep the church and the state forever separated.” -Ulysses S. Grant
“The more we teach people to simply accept anecdotal stories, hearsay, cherry-picked data (picking out what supports your claims but ignoring what doesn’t), and, frankly, out-and-out lies, the harder it gets for people to think clearly. If you cannot think clearly, you cannot function as a human being. I cannot stress this enough. Uncritical thinking is tearing this world to pieces” – Phil Plait
“Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn’t go away. ” - Philip K. Dick
“Whoah, Whoah! Let’s slow down chief. You’re slowing down way too fast there.” – Fighter
“Breakfast is the only meal of the day that I tend to view with the same kind of traditionalized reverence that most people associate with Lunch and Dinner. I like to eat breakfast alone, and almost never before noon; anybody with a terminally jangled lifestyle needs at least one psychic anchor every twenty-four hours, and mine is breakfast. In Hong Kong, Dallas or at home — and regardless of whether or not I have been to bed — breakfast is a personal ritual that can only be properly observed alone, and in a spirit of genuine excess. The food factor should always be massive: four Bloody Marys, two grapefruits, a pot of coffee, Rangoon crepes, a half-pound of either sausage, bacon, or corned beef hash with diced chiles, a Spanish omelette or eggs Benedict, a quart of milk, a chopped lemon for random seasoning, and something like a slice of Key lime pie, two margaritas, and six lines of the best cocaine for dessert…. Right, and there should also be two or three newspapers, all mail and messages, a telephone, a notebook for planning the next twenty-four hours and at least one source of good music…. All of which should be dealt with outside, in the warmth of a hot sun, and preferably stone naked.” – Hunter S. Thompson
“… you know, that’d be like taking a spoonful out of the Atlantic to try and save the Titanic.” – Warren Buffett
“You need to keep up with your Math news.” – Miah
“If you would like to know why writing in games suffers, or is bad, or is not valued, know this: it is because in order to secure writing, one must deal with writers, something no-one in their right fucking mind should ever even contemplate.” – Tycho
“Your mom is a classy lady!” – Penny Arcade
“Now, let’s look at act 5! Not a single door you can open. In fact, the only doors there are, are doors you destroy!”
“Is it hot?” -Miah
ATTORNEY: Now doctor, isn’t it true that when a person dies in his sleep, he doesn’t know about it until the next morning?
WITNESS: Did you actually pass the bar exam?
“He is so good with a mic. He needs to have one at all times” – Jason
People would worry a lot less about what others think if they realized how little time others spent doing so. – Unknown
(English Translation) “I heard yours was like dynamite with no delay” – 松本人志
「美味しそー!」・ 松本人志
ショウヘイヘ~イ♪
“The eyes are like the groin of the head.” – Dwight
“Video games don’t affect kids, I mean if Pac-Man affected us as kids, we’d all run around in a darkened room munching pills and listening to repetitive music.” – Kristian Wilson, CEO at Nintendo Gaming Corporation Inc.
“A FESTIVUS FOR THE REST OF US!” – Frank Costanza
“Q: Hi. I notice that the car is duel fuel. Does this mean that the 2 fuels have a fight in the engine, to produce more power as a by product of their hatred and rage? Does the winning fuel get to marry the girlfriend of the losing fuel? Also does it only work at dawn in wooded glades or on the outskirts of a town?” – ebay auction
Some people, when confronted with a problem, think “I know, I’ll use regular expressions.” Now they have two problems. — Jamie Zawinski

“You cannot actually disprove the existence of God. Therefore, to be a positive atheist is not technically possible. But you can be as atheist about God as you can be atheist about Thor or Apollo. Everybody nowadays is an atheist about Thor and Apollo. Some of us just go one god further.” -Richard Dawkins
“Even if they can’t be herded, cats in sufficient
numbers can make a lot of noise and they cannot be ignored.” -Richard Dawkins (only makes sense if you read his book)
“scientifically illiterate boards of education should leave the curriculum to educators and scientists”
“The word god is for me nothing more than the expression and product of human weaknesses, the Bible a collection of honourable, but still primitive legends which are nevertheless pretty childish. No interpretation no matter how subtle can (for me) change this. For me the Jewish religion like all others is an incarnation of the most childish superstitions.” -Albert Einstein
Founding Father quotes:
“I have found Christian dogma unintelligible. Early in life, I absenteed myself from Christian assemblies.” -Benjamin Franklin
“Religious controversies are always productive of more acrimony and irreconcilable hatreds than those which spring from any other cause. I had hoped that liberal and enlightened thought would have reconciled the Christians so that their religious fights would not endanger the peace of Society.” -George Washington
“The government of the United States is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion.” -John Adams
“Religions are all alike – founded upon fables and mythologies.” -Thomas Jefferson
“I do not find in orthodox Christianity one redeeming feature.” -Thomas Jefferson
