One of Michael's favorite quotes is:"1. "They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety."
- Benjamin Franklin
2. "There never was a good war or a bad peace."
- Benjamin Franklin
3. "We are all atheists about most of the gods that societies have ever believed in. Some of us just go one god further."
-Richard Dawkins
4. "The God of the Old Testament is arguably the most unpleasant character in all fiction: jealous and proud of it; a petty, unjust, unforgiving control-freak; a vindictive, bloodthirsty ethnic cleanser; a misogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadomasochistic, capriciously malevolent bully."
-Richard Dawkins
5. âWar does not determine who is right - only who is left.â
- Bertrand Russel
6. âWhat is wanted is not the will to believe, but the wish to find...Expand for more
out, which is its exact oppositeâ
- Bertrand Russel
7. âThe fact that a believer is happier than a skeptic is no more to the point than the fact that a drunken man is happier than a sober one.â
- George Bernard Shaw
8. "Patriotism is your conviction that this country is superior to all other countries because you were born in it."
- George Bernard Shaw
9. "The nationalist not only does not disapprove of atrocities committed by his own side, but he has a remarkable capacity for not even hearing about them."
- George Orwell
10. "As I write, highly civilized human beings are flying overhead, trying to kill me.
They do not feel any enmity against me as an individual, nor I against them. They are âonly doing their dutyâ, as the saying goes. Most of them, I have no doubt, are kind-hearted law-abiding men who would never dream of committing murder in private life. On the other hand, if one of them succeeds in blowing me to pieces with a well-placed bomb, he will never sleep any the worse for it. He is serving his country, which has the power to absolve him from evil."
- George Orwell".
