Famous Quotes & Sayings

Carlos Fuentes

In Latin America, even atheists are Catholics.

C. S. Lewis

Charles Dickens

I believe the spreading of Catholicism to be the most horrible means of political and social degradation left in the world.

Charles Stross

I'm an atheist .I was raised in British reform Judaism, which is not like American reform Judaism, much less any other strain of organised religion. So: no cults here.

Charles Stross

I wish I was still an atheist. Believing I was born into a harsh, uncaring cosmos – in which my existence was a random roll of the dice and I was destined to die and rot and then be gone forever – was infinitely more comforting than the truth. Because the truth is that my God is coming back. When he arrives I’ll be waiting for him with a shotgun. And I’m keeping the last shell for myself.

Ricky Gervais

Ricky Gervais

I'd like to thank God for making me an atheist.

Carlos Castaneda

We are men and our lot in life is to learn and to be hurled into inconceivable new worlds.

Carlos Castaneda

The greatest flaw of human beings is to remain glued to the inventory of reason. Reason doesn't deal with man as energy. Reason deals with instruments that create energy, but it has never seriously occurred to reason that we are better than instruments: we are organisms that create energy. We are bubbles of energy.

Alan Light

Charles Stross

The trouble is, if you go too far towards being polite, the label that applies is "doormat".

K'naan

I know that often times a lot of people who work in music, whether they be labels and so on or even artists, want personal recognition. We want to be recognized for something, for what we did.

Brian Setzer

Diana Ross

I have never gotten into the label thing.
