Freethought Quotes

  • “Most of us must learn to love people and use things rather than loving things and using people.”
    by Roy T. Bennett
    The Light in the Heart
  • “It was, of course, a lie what you read about my religious convictions, a lie which is being systematically repeated. I do not believe in a personal God and I have never denied this but have expressed it clearly.”
    by Albert Einstein
    Letter to Joseph Dispentiere, March 24, 1954
  • “Let's teach our children from a very young age about the story of the universe and its incredible richness and beauty. It is already so much more glorious and awesome – and even comforting – than anything offered by any scripture or god concept that I know.”
    by Carolyn Porco, planetary scientist
