Freethought Quotes

  • “Why should we postpone our joy to another world? Let us get all we can of the good between the cradle and the grave, all that we can of the truly dramatic. If, when death comes, that is the end, we have at least made the best of this life.”
    by Robert Green Ingersoll
  • “I believe in mystery. I believe that we shouldn't pretend to know what we don't and that we should ask a lot of questions. I believe that we're all connected, that every human action affects each of us, that living well means making the world a better place. I believe honesty is more important than tradition, that fostering the common good brings more happiness than self-aggrandizement does. Life is full of meaning and frustration, joy and fear, love and uncertainty – and I enjoy wading into the midst of it all”
    by Mary Johnson, Humanist celebrant, former Missionaries of Charity nun, author of An Unquenchable Thirst: A Memoir

  • “I do understand what love is, and that is one of the reasons I can never again be a Christian. Love is not self denial. Love is not blood and suffering. Love is not murdering your son to appease your own vanity. Love is not hatred or wrath, consigning billions of people to eternal torture because they have offended your ego or disobeyed your rules. Love is not obedience, conformity, or submission. It is a counterfeit love that is contingent upon authority, punishment, or reward. True love is respect and admiration, compassion and kindness, freely given by a healthy, unafraid human being.”
