Quote: Timothy Leary
Think for yourself and question authority.
Quote: Francis Bacon
Truth is the daughter of time, not of authority.
Quote: Noam Chomsky
It is the responsibility of intellectuals to speak the truth and expose lies.
Quote: P.Z. Myers
You can’t love the truth without detesting lies.
Quote: Thomas Paine
A thing moderately good is not so good as it ought to be. Moderation in temper is always a virtue; but moderation in principle is always a vice.
Quote: Julian
God refused to let man taste of wisdom (Gen. 2.16-17), even though nothing could be more important to mankind.
Quote: Madalyn Murray O’Hair
An atheist believes that a hospital should be built instead of a church. An atheist believes that deed must be done instead of prayer said. An atheist strives for involvement in life and not escape into death. He wants disease conquered, poverty vanished, war eliminated.
Quote: Noam Chomsky
… Jingoism, racism, fear, religious fundamentalism: these are the ways of appealing to people if you’re trying to organize a mass base of support for policies that are really intended to crush them.
Quote: Madalyn Murray-O’Hair
From whence do you derive your authority; and why should I be obedient to you?
