“I’m a member of no party.

 I have no ideology. 

I’m a rationalist; 

I do what I can 

in the international struggle 

between science and reason,  

and the barbarism, 

superstition and stupidity 

that’s all around us.”

— Christopher Hitchens

“If you want to find the secrets of the universe,

the system is beyond corrupt.”

“One of the saddest lessons of history is this:

If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, 

we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. 

We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. 

The bamboozle has captured us. 

It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, 

even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. 

Once you give a charlatan power over you, 

you almost never get it back.”

― Carl Sagan, The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark

"Imaginary evil is romantic and varied;

real evil is gloomy, monotonous, 

barren, boring. 

Imaginary good is boring; 

real good is always new, 

marvelous, intoxicating." 

– Simone Weil

 

 

“I was ashamed of myself

when I realised 

life was a costume party 

and I attended with my real face”

“Once upon a time,

there was pretty little town named Hamelin. 

Though Hamelin was charming, 

it had two faults. 

Its townspeople were very stingy,

and there were too many rats.”

 

“Do you want to have an easy life?

Then always stay with the herd 

and lose yourself 

in the herd.”

- Friedrich Nietzsche

“If you are silent about your pain,

 they’ll kill you 

and say 

you enjoyed it.”

This world was created from God's fear of solitude.

In other words, 

us, the creatures, 

have no other meaning 

but to distract the Creator. 

Poor clowns of the absolute, 

we forget that we live dramas 

for the boredom of a spectator, 

whose claps have never reached 

the ears of a mortal.

 

Emil Cioran

“This is where we are at right now, as a whole.

No one is left out of the loop. 

We are experiencing a reality based on 

a thin veneer of lies and illusions. 

A world where greed is our God 

and wisdom is sin, 

where division is key 

and unity is fantasy, 

where the ego-driven cleverness of the mind is praised, 

rather than the intelligence of the heart.”
 

― Bill Hicks
