Holy Texts

"A fool takes no pleasure in understanding, but only in expressing his opinion." - Proverbs 18:2

1701 - 1900

"Actual happiness always looks pretty squalid in comparison with the overcompensations for misery. And, of course, stability isn’t nearly so spectacular as instability. And being contented has none of the glamour of a good fight against misfortune, none of the picturesqueness of a struggle with temptation, or a fatal overthrow by passion or doubt. Happiness is never grand." - Aldous Huxley (1894-1963)

1901 - 1950

"When a scientific law is combined with the cause it provides predictions. When a scientific law is combined with the effect it provides explanations. In this sense, predictions and explanations are symmetrical and reversible through the logic of deduction. That leaves testing." - George Soros (1930-)

"Belief does not necessarily depend on certainty, and its domain of the Real cannot necessarily be brought to bear on our everyday lives. In certain cases, the “maybe” or the belief in the possibility of a thing, is also faith in its fullest sense." - Rav Shagar (1949-2007)

1950+

"God's a house. Which is not to say that our house is God's house or even a house of God. What I mean to say is that our house is God."
- Mark Z. Danieleski (1966-)

"Words are a leap of faith." - Besteybeetophile (2009-)
