“If there is a god, he sure hates people. That’s all I can say.”

I tried to import these using the RSS feed but no dice.

“If our Gods and our hopes are nothing but scientific phenomena, then let us admit it must be said that our love is scientific as well.”
- Mathias Villiers de l’Isle-Adam

“…I always had one foot out the door, and that prevented me from doing a lot of things; like thinking about my future. I guess it made more sense to commit to nothin’, keep my options open. And that’s suicide; by tiny, tiny increments.”
- High Fidelity

“On the contrary, if the universe were just electrons and selfish genes, meaningless tragedies like the crashing of this bus [full of children from a Roman Catholic school and for no apparent reason but with wholesale loss of life] are exactly what we should expect, along with equally meaningless good fortune. Such a universe would be neither evil nor good in intention. It would manifest no intentions of any kind. In a universe of blind physical forces and genetic replication, some people are going to get hurt, other people are going to get lucky, and you won’t find any rhyme or reason in it, nor any justice. The universe we observe has precisely the properties we should expect if there is, at bottom, no design, no purpose, no evil, and no good, nothing but blind, pitiless indifference.”
- Richard Dawkins (before he was making headlines)

“When you grow up surrounded
by willful ignorance,
you learn that mercy has its own country
and that it’s round and borderless”
- Ani Difranco

“The things that will destroy us are: politics without principle; pleasure without conscience; wealth without work; knowledge without character; business without morality; science without humanity; and worship without sacrifice.”
- Mahatma Gandhi

“Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter”
- Martin Luther King Jr.

“For those being excluded (referring to homosexuals today), this is a reign of terror. Nothing less.”
- Philip Armstrong

“A coward is incapable of exhibiting love; it is the prerogative of the brave.”
- Mahatma Gandhi

“There is no greater sin than desire,
No greater curse than discontent,
No greater misfortune than wanting something for oneself.
Therefore he who knows that enough is enough will always have enough.”
- Lao Tzu

The Religious Right says that abstinence is 100% effective at preventing pregnancy when the whole premise of their religion is that it isn’t. Hilarity.
