none of importance

rock and metal

If I were to suggest that between the Earth and Mars there is a china teapot revolving about the sun in an elliptical orbit, nobody would be able to disprove my assertion provided I were careful to add that the teapot is too small to be revealed even by our most powerful telescopes. But if I were to go on to say that, since my assertion cannot be disproved, it is an intolerable presumption on the part of human reason to doubt it, I should rightly be thought to be talking nonsense. If, however, the existence of such a teapot were affirmed in ancient books, taught as the sacred truth every Sunday, and instilled into the minds of children at school, hesitation to believe in its existence would become a mark of eccentricity and entitle the doubter to the attentions of the psychiatrist in an enlightened age or of the Inquisitor in an earlier time.- Bertrand Russell

-The reason organized religion merits outright hostility is that, unlike belief in Russell's teapot, religion is powerful, influential, tax-exempt and systematically passed on to children too young to defend themselves. Children are not compelled to spend their formative years memorizing loony books about teapots. Government-subsidized schools don't exclude children whose parents prefer the wrong shape of teapot. Teapot-believers don't stone teapot-unbelievers, teapot-apostates, teapot-heretics and teapot-blasphemers to death. Mothers don't warn their sons off marrying teapot-shiksas whose parents believe in three teapots rather than one. People who put the milk in first don't kneecap those who put the tea in first. -
We are all atheists about most of the gods that societies have ever believed in. Some of us just go one god further. -Richard Dawkins

All statements are true in some sense, false in some sense, meaningless in some sense, true and false in some sense, true and meaningless in some sense, false and meaningless in some sense, and true and false and meaningless in some sense. - Principia Discordia

knowing not what the future has in store for me, I will just try my best to keep a future in store for us- me

Better to die on your feet than to live on your knees - Zapata, Che Guevara

-Only a humorless tyrant could want a perpetual chanting of praises that, one has no choice but to assume, would be the innate virtues and splendors furnished him by his creator, infinite regression, drowned in praise!

-What can be asserted without proof can be dismissed without proof. -Christopher Hitchens

-Say to yourself in the early morning: I shall meet today inquisitive, ungrateful, violent, treacherous, envious, uncharitable men. All these things have come upon them through ignorance of real good and ill.
-You will find rest from vain fancies if you perform every act in life as though it were your last.
-A man should be upright, not kept upright.
-The universe is change; our life is what our thoughts make it.
-How much time he gains who does not look to see what his neighbor says or does or thinks, but only at what he does himself, to make it just and holy.
-Time is a sort of river of passing events, and strong is its current; no sooner is a thing brought to sight than it is swept by and another takes its place, and this too will be swept away.
-Do not think that what is hard for you to master is humanly impossible; but if a thing is humanly possible, consider it to be within your reach.
-It is man's peculiar duty to love even those who wrong him.
-Very little is needed to make a happy life.
-Think not disdainfully of death, but look on it with favor; for even death is one of the things that Nature wills.
-Look back over the past, with its changing empires that rose and fell, and you can foresee the future, too.
-Never let the future disturb you. You will meet it, if you have to, with the same weapons of reason which today arm you against the present.
-The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts, therefore guard accordingly; and take care that you entertain no notions unsuitable to virtue, and reasonable nature.
-Live a good life. If there are gods and they are just, then they will not care how devout you have been, but will welcome you based on the virtues you have lived by. If there are gods, but unjust, then you should not want to worship them. If there are no gods, then you will be gone, but will have lived a noble life that will live on in the memories of your loved ones.

Marcus Aurelius.
