Freethought Quotes

  • “I am an atheist, out and out. It took me a long time to say it. I've been an atheist for years and years, but somehow I felt it was intellectually unrespectable to say one was an atheist, because it assumed knowledge that one didn't have. Somehow, it was better to say one was a humanist or an agnostic. I finally decided that I'm a creature of emotion as well as of reason. Emotionally, I am an atheist. I don't have the evidence to prove that God doesn't exist, but I so strongly suspect he doesn't that I don't want to waste my time.”
    by Isaac Asimov
  • “The value of life lies not in its length, but in the use we make of it.”
    by Michel de Montaigne
  • “The knowledge that immortality is an illusion... liberates all our energy and time for the realization and extension of the happy potentialities of this good earth.”
