On the dogmas of religion, as distinguished from moral principles, all mankind, from the beginning of the world to this day, have been quarreling, fighting, burning and torturing one another, for abstractions unintelligible to themselves and to all others, and absolutely beyond the comprehension of the human mind.

Thomas Jefferson

We must select the illusion which appeals to our temperament and embrace it with passion, if we want to be happy.

Cyril Connolly

Sometimes you put up walls not to keep people out, but to see who cares enough to break them down.
