“One step further in the psychology of conviction, of faith. It is now a good while since I first proposed for consideration the question whether convictions are not even more dangerous enemies to truth than lies.”
by Friedrich Nietzsche
Human, All-Too-Human
“I can think of few systems more dysfunctional than the Roman Catholic Church – Iran, Uganda, the followers of Warren Jeffs. It's hard to reform a dysfunctional system, especially one that's been around for two thousand years, reaches into nearly every country in the world, and claims divine infallibility.”
by Mary Johnson, Humanist celebrant, former Missionaries of Charity nun, author of An Unquenchable Thirst: A Memoir

“Philosophers have long conceded, however, that every man has two educators: ‘that which is given to him, and the other that which he gives himself. Of the two kinds the latter is by far the more desirable. Indeed all that is most worthy in man he must work out and conquer for himself. It is that which constitutes our real and best nourishment. What we are merely taught seldom nourishes the mind like that which we teach ourselves.”
by Carter G. Woodson, historian, author, founder of Negro History Week (now Black History Month)
The Mis-Education of the Negro (1933)
