Freethought Quotes

  • “Isn't it enough to see that a garden is beautiful without having to believe that there are fairies at the bottom of it too?”
    by Douglas Adams
    The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
  • “In religion and politics, people's beliefs and convictions are in almost every case gotten at second-hand, and without examination.”
    by Mark Twain
  • “At age fourteen I was asking questions. When the answers failed to satisfy me, I searched elsewhere for different answers and found wisdom in atheism. And I am far from alone in that experience.”
