"All religions are founded on fables and mysteries; and it is impossible that we should ever be tolerably happy."

"Theology is the effort to explain the unknowable in terms of the not worth knowing."

"Man's life is a line between the nothing from which it comes and the nothing into which it goes."

"The best part of living is knowing you survived."

"The world needs heroes."

"Life is too short to live poorly."

"I'd rather be an optimist and be wrong than a pessimist and be right"
