“the touch of evil poisons by the idea of it. Reject the idea, and you've rejected the evil”
“Never reject an idea because it will create conflict!”
“The true roll in determing to embrace or reject anything is not whether it have any evil in it but whether it have more of evil than of good. There are few things wholly evil or wholly good.”
“Faith and feelings are the warm marrow of evil. Unlike reason, faith and feelings provide no boundary to limit any delusion, any whim. They are virulent poison, giving the numbing illusion of moral sanction to every depravity ever hatched.Faith and feelings are the darkness to reason’s light.Reason is the very substance of truth itself. The glory that is life is wholly embraced through reason. In rejecting it, in rejecting reason, one embraces death.”
“Whether you accept or reject the idea of God, the sacredness of all life is a goal devoutly to be wished”
“The human mind treats a new idea the same way the body treats a strange protein; it rejects it.”
