"I only appear to be dead."

--

Hans Christian Andersen

“I cannot conceive of a personal God who would directly influence the actions of individuals, or would directly sit in judgment on creatures of his own creation. I cannot do this in spite of the fact that mechanistic causality has, to a certain extent, been placed in doubt by modern science. My religiosity consists in a humble admiration of the infinitely superior spirit that reveals itself in the little that we, with our weak and transitory understanding, can comprehend of reality. Morality is of the highest importance - but for us, not for God.”
“You can smile when your heart is breaking because you are a woman, and a courtier, and a Howard. That's three reasons for being the most deceitful creature on God's earth.”
“Without aggression, it becomes possible to think well, to be curious about differences, and to enjoy each other's company.”
“I'd like to see college debt levels drop by a lot, but I'm not quite sure what the best way to do that is.”
“I can't tell you how excited I am to be a part of an organization that's committed to winning.”
“People who deny the existence of dragons are often eaten by dragons. From within.”
