Sam Harris

Quote from Sam Harris, Letter to a Christian Nation

Atheism is not a philosophy; it is not even a view of the world; it is simply an admission of the obvious. In fact, ‘atheism’ is a term that should not even exist. No one needs to identify himself as a ‘non-astrologer’ or a ‘non-alchemist.’ We do not have words for people who doubt that Elvis is still alive or that aliens have traversed the galaxy only to molest ranchers and cattle. Atheism is nothing more than the noises reasonable people make in the presence of unjustified religious beliefs.

Quote from Umberto Eco, The Name of the Rose

After so many years even the fire of passion dies, and with it what was believed the light of the truth. Who of us is able to say now whether Hector or Achilles was right, Agamemnon or Priam, when they fought over the beauty of a woman who is now dust and ashes?

Quote from Dark Jar Tin Zoo, Love Quotes for the Ages. Specifically Ages 19-91.

If you have the woman you love, what more do you need? Well, besides an alibi for the time of her husband’s murder.
