Intellectual passion drives out sensuality
- Vinci
The man who regards his own life and that of his fellow creatures as meaningless is not merely unhappy but hardly fit for life
Famous Quotes - Einstein
Let no one ever, from henceforth say one word in any way countenancing war. It is dangerous even to speak of how here and there the individual may gain some hardship of soul by it. For war is hell, and those who institute it are criminals. Were there even anything to say for it, it should not be said; for its spiritual disasters far outweigh any of its advantages.

Maturity begins when we’re content to feel we’re right about something without feeling the necessity to prove someone else wrong
Famous Quotes - Sydney Harris
One of the greatest gifts science has brought to the world is continuing elimination of the supernatural, and it was a lesson that my father passed on to me, that knowledge liberates mankind from superstition. We can live our lives without the constant fear that we have offended this or that deity who must be placated by incantation or sacrifice, or that we are at the mercy of devils or the Fates. With increasing knowledge, the intellectual darkness that surrounds us is illuminated and we learn more of the beauty and wonder of the natural world.

If theres a hole, it’s a mans job to thrust into it!

I believe it is an established maxim in morals that he who makes an assertion without knowing whether it is true or false, is guilty of falsehood; and the accidental truth of the assertion, does not justify or excuse him.
– August 11, 1846 - Letter to Allen N. Ford
- Abraham Lincoln
