"If I were to suggest that between the Earth and Mars there is a china teapot revolving about the sun in an elliptical orbit, nobody would be able to disprove my assertion provided I were careful to add that the teapot is too small to be revealed even by our most powerful telescopes. But if I were to go on to say that, since my assertion cannot be disproved, it is an intolerable presumption on the part of human reason to doubt it, I should rightly be thought to be talking nonsense. If, however, the existence of such a teapot were affirmed in ancient books, taught as the sacred truth every Sunday, and instilled into the minds of children at school, hesitation to believe in its existence would become a mark of eccentricity and entitle the doubter to the attentions of the psychiatrist in an enlightened age or of the Inquisitor in an earlier time." - Bertrand Russel

"I spoke to God once on the bus. He told me the meaning of life and then He gave me a pretzel. So what's the meaning of life? Uh yeah I guess I should've written it down, but it was a good pretzel man." - Mistweaver, Youtube comments section

"Feed my will to feel this moment urging me to cross the line. Reaching out to embrace the random, reaching out to embrace whatever may come." - Maynard James Keenan

"Masquerading as a man with a reason; my event is the event of the season." - Ronnie Platt

"Know that I will always love you, even as I tear your fucking throat away." - Maynard James Keenan

"We have one collective hope: the Earth; And yet, uncounted people remain hopeless. Famine and calamity abound
Sufferers hurl themselves into the arms of war. People kill and get killed in the name of someone else’s concept of God.
Do we admit that our thoughts and behaviors spring from a belief that the world revolves around us?
Each fabricated conflict, self-murdering bomb, vanished airplane, every fictionalized dictator, biased or partisan, and wayward son are part of the curtains of society’s racial, ethnic, religious, national and cultural conflicts, and you find the human ego turning the knobs and pulling the levers.
When I track the orbits of asteroids, comets and planets, each one a pirouetting dancer in a cosmic ballet, choreographed by the forces of gravity, I see beyond the plight of humans. I see a Universe ever-expanding, with its galaxies embedded within the ever-stretching four-dimensional fabric of space and time.
However big our world is, our hearts, our minds, our outsize atlases, the universe is even bigger; There are more stars in the Universe than grains of sand on the world’s beaches. More stars in the Universe than seconds of time that have passed since Earth formed. More stars than words and sounds ever uttered by all humans who have ever lived.
The day we cease the exploration of the cosmos is the day we threaten the continuing of our species
In that bleak world, arms-bearing, resource-hungry people and nations would be prone to act on their low-contracted prejudices, and would have seen the last gasp of human enlightenment;
Until the rise of a visionary new culture that once again embraces the cosmic perspective: a perspective in which we are one, fitting neither above nor below... but within." - Neil deGrasse Tyson

"I looked and looked but I didn't see God." - Yuri Gagarin

"Leonard 'Bones' McCoy: Permission to speak freely, sir?
Spock: I welcome it.
Leonard 'Bones' McCoy: Do you? OK, then. Are you out of your Vulcan mind? Are you making a logical choice, sending Kirk away? Probably. But, the right one? You know, back home we have a saying: "If you're gonna ride in the Kentucky Derby, you don't leave your prize stallion in the stable."
Spock: A curious metaphor, doctor, as a stallion must first be broken before it can reach its potential.
Leonard 'Bones' McCoy: My God, man, you could at least ACT like it was a hard decision.
Spock: I intend to assist in the effort to reestablish communication with Starfleet. However, if crew morale is better served by my roaming the halls weeping, I will gladly defer to your medical expertise. Excuse me.
Leonard 'Bones' McCoy: [as Spock leaves] Green-blooded hobgoblin." - Star Trek, unknown

"I have learned the hard way to mind my business, without judging who people are and what they do. I am more troubled by the lack of space being provided for the truth to unfold. Humans cannot seem to wait for or honor the truth. Instead, we make it up based on who we believe people should or should not be." - Iyanla Vazant
