The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God.
* Bible -- Psalms 14:1
-
A man's ethical behavior should be based effectually on sympathy, education, and social ties and needs; no religious basis is necessary. Man would indeed be in a poor way if he had to be restrained by fear of punishment and hope of reward after death.
* Albert Einstein
-
An honest God is the noblest work of man.
* Robert G. Ingersoll
-
There seems to be a terrible misunderstanding on the part of a great many people to the effect that when you cease to believe you may cease to behave.
* Louis Kronenberger
-
Man knows in the end that he is alone in the indifferent immensity of the Universe from which he has emerged by chance. Neither his destiny nor his duty is written down anywhere.
* Jacques Lucien Monod
-
He was an embittered atheist, the sort of atheist who does not so much disbelieve in God as personally dislike Him.
* George Orwell
-
Here we are, we're alone in the universe, there's no God, it just seems that it all began by something as simple as sunlight striking on a piece of rock. And here we are. We've only got ourselves. Somehow, we've just got to make a go of it. We've only ourselves.
* John Osborne
-
Among the repulsions of atheism for me has been its drastic uninterestingness as an intellectual position. Where was the ingenuity, the ambiguity, the humanity (in the Harvard sense) of saying that the universe just happened to happen and that when we're dead we're dead?
* John Updike
-
So many gods, so many creeds,
So many paths that wind and wind,
While just the art of being kind
Is all the sad world needs.
* Ella Wheeler Wilcox
