*"We make our world significant by the courage of our questions and by the depth of our answers." - Carl Sagan in Cosmos (1980)
*"I am an atheist, out and out. It took me a long time to say it. I've been an atheist for years and years, but somehow I felt it was intellectually unrespectable to say one was an atheist, because it assumed knowledge that one didn't have. Somehow, it was better to say one was a humanist or an agnostic. I finally decided that I'm a creature of emotion as well as of reason. Emotionally, I am an atheist. I don't have the evidence to prove that God doesn't exist, but I so strongly suspect he doesn't that I don't want to waste my time." - Isaac Asimov, in Free Inquiry
* "Religious bondage shackles and debilitates the mind and unfits it for every noble enterprise, every expanded prospect." - James Madison
