Freethought Quotes

  • “Sincere seekers are often painfully aware of holes in their current philosophies – and every worldview that pretends to answer every important question does indeed have holes somewhere because it's overreaching. So a worldview that seems to fill the irritating holes in a previously held philosophy can be very appealing, especially if it claims not to be subject to human limitations.”
    by Mary Johnson, Humanist celebrant, former Missionaries of Charity nun, author of An Unquenchable Thirst: A Memoir

  • “Puritanism: The haunting fear that someone, somewhere, may be happy. ”
    by H. L. Mencken
  • “I imagine one of the reasons people cling to their hates so stubbornly is because they sense, once hate is gone, they will be forced to deal with pain.”
    by James Baldwin
