I stand four-square for reason, and object to what seems to me to be irrationality, whatever the source. If you are on my side in this, I must warn you that the army of the night has the advantage of overwhelming numbers, and, by its very nature, is immune to reason, so that it is entirely unlikely that you and I can win out. We will always remain a tiny and probably hopeless minority, but let us never tire of presenting our view, and of fighting the good fight for the right.

You can prove anything you want by coldly logical reason---if you pick the proper postulates.

In life, people will take you at your own reckoning.

The whole world might know you and acclaim you, but someone in the past, forever unreachable, forever unknowing, spoils it all.

When I die I won't go to heaven or hell; there will just be nothingness.

Self-education is, I firmly believe, the only kind of education there is.

The intelligent man is never bored.
