"Every living thing is a sort of imperialist, seeking to transform as much as possible of its environment into itself."	Bertrand Russell
"Fear is the parent of cruelty, and therefore it is no wonder if cruelty and religion go hand in hand."	Bertrand Russell
"Religion is something left over from the infancy of our intelligence, it will fade away as we adopt reason and science as our guidelines."	Bertrand Russell
"The Christian view that all intercourse outside marriage is immoral was, as we see in the above passages from St. Paul, based upon the view that all sexual intercourse, even within marriage, is regrettable. A view of this sort, which goes against biological facts, can only be regarded by sane people as a morbid aberration. The fact that it is embedded in Christian ethics has made Christianity throughout its whole history a force tending towards mental disorders and unwholesome views of life."	Bertrand Russell
"To conquer fear is the beginning of wisdom."	Bertrand Russell
"Those who fear life are already three parts dead."	Bertrand Russell
"Fear: False Evidence Appearing Real."	Author Unknown
"The hottest places in hell are reserved for those who, in a time of moral crisis, remain neutral."	Dante Alighieri
"Pure truth, like pure gold, has been found unfit for circulation because men have discovered that it is far more convenient to adulterate the truth than to refine themselves."	Charles Caleb Colton
"People reduced to the extremity of need are also driven to the utmost limits of their resources, and woe to any defenseless person who comes in their way. Work and wages, food and warmth, courage and goodwill - all is lost to them. The daylight dwindles into shadow and darkness enters their hearts; and within this darkness man seizes upon the weakness of woman and child and forces them into ignominy. No horror is then excluded. Desperation is bounded only by the flimsiest of walls, all giving access to vice and crime... they appear utterly depraved, corrupt, vile and odious; but it is rare for those who have sunk so low not to be degraded in the process, and there comes a point, moreover, where the unfortunate and infamous are grouped together, merged in a single fateful world. They are Les Miserables - the outcasts, the underdogs."	Victor Hugo
"If there is a God, atheism must strike Him as less of an insult than religion."	Edmond and Jules De Goncourt
"Dear God. We paid for all this stuff ourselves, so thanks for nothing."	Bart Simpson
"It is the reformer who is anxious for the reform, and not society, from which he should expect nothing better than opposition, abhorrence and even mortal persecution."	Mahatma Gandhi
"We are not accountable for the sins of "Adam"."	Robert G. Ingersoll
"Either god should have written a book to fit my brain, or he should have made my brain to fit his book."	Robert G. Ingersoll
"The hands that help are better far than the lips that pray."	Robert G. Ingersoll
"The fear of God is not the beginning of wisdom. The fear of God is the death of wisdom. Skepticism and doubt lead to study and investigation, and investigation is the beginning of wisdom. The modern world is the child of doubt and inquiry, as the ancient world was the child of fear and faith."	Clarence Darrow
"...finally men were saved only through God's son dying for them, and that unless human beings believed this silly, impossible and wicked story they were doomed to hell? Can anyone with intelligence really believe that a child born today should be doomed because the snake tempted Eve and Eve tempted Adam? To believe that is not God-worship; it is devil-worship."	Clarence Darrow
"I don't believe in God because I don't believe in Mother Goose."	Clarence Darrow
"Nothing can resist the will of that which will stake its existence upon its fulfilment."	Benjamin Disraeli
