Quotation

Reporter: "Mr Gandhi, what do you think of Western Civilisation?"
Mr Gandhi: "I think it would be a good idea."

"If we knew what it was we were doing, it would not be called research, would it?" — Albert Einstein

The thinking man must oppose all cruel customs no matter how deeply rooted in tradition and surrounded by a halo. When we have a choice, we must avoid bringing torment and injury into the life of another, even the lowliest creature; to do so is to renounce our manhood and shoulder a guilt which nothing justifies.
~ Albert Schweitzer

" We are all atheists about most of the gods that humanity has ever believed in. Some of us just go one god further."
— Professor Richard Dawkins
