Faith is the art of holding on to things your reason has once accepted, in spite of your changing moods.
Sir, my concern is not whether God is on our side; my greatest concern is to be on God's side, for God is always right.
I find distasteful the traditional idea of Christianity which preaches the resurrection of the body.

The whole secret of existence is to have no fear. Never fear what will become of you, depend on no one. Only the moment you reject all help are you freed.
God is a comedian playing to an audience that is too afraid to laugh.
Faith is the great cop-out, the great excuse to evade the need to think and evaluate evidence. Faith is the belief in spite of, even perhaps because of, the lack of evidence.
I don't think of all the misery, but of the beauty that still remains.
If man attempts to suppress the animal side of his nature by a sheer effort of conscious will, nature finds a hundred unexpected and unpleasant ways to take its revenge.
Strong hope is a much greater stimulant of life than any single realized joy could be.
