Some quotes I enjoy:

"It is far better to grasp the universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring."
- Carl Sagan.

"Remember that a government big enough to give you everything you want is also big enough to take away everything you have."
-Gerald Ford.

"Society bends over backward to be accommodating to religious sensibilities but not to other kinds of sensibilities. If I say something offensive to religious people, I'll be universally censured, including by many atheists. But if I say something insulting about Democrats or Republicans or the Green Party, one is allowed to get away with that. Hiding behind the smoke screen of untouchability is something religions have been allowed to get away with for too long."
-Richard Dawkins

"No man is an Island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the Continent, a part of the main; if a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as if a manor of thy friends or of thine own were; any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in Mankind; And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; It tolls for thee."
-John Donne (thanks hardcase for sharing it).

"No, it is a matter of logic. If you're going to say things that have been proven wrong, like that the first man and women lived in Missouri and that Native Americans came from Jerusalem, then you better have something to back it up. All you've got are a bunch of stories about some asswhipe who read plates nobody ever saw out of a hat and then couldn't do it again when the translations were hidden." -Stan Marsh (speaking about faith and mormonism).
