Have You Ever Thought That

I Am An Atheist, And If An Atheist And A Pope Think The Same Things, There Must Be Something True. There Must Be Some Human Truth That Is Beyond Religion.

The Moment You Give Up Your Principles, And Your Values, You Are Dead, Your Culture Is Dead, Your Civilization Is Dead. Period.

Listening To Someone Talk Isn't At All Like Listening To Their Words Played Over On A Machine. What You Hear When You Have A Face Before You Is Never What You Hear When You Have Before You A Winding Tape.

Whether It Comes From A Despotic Sovereign Or An Elected President, From A Murderous General Or A Beloved Leader, I See Power As An Inhuman And Hateful Phenomenon.

One Day You And I Will Have To Have A Little Talk About This Business Called Love. I Still Don't Understand What It's All About. My Guess Is That It's Just A Gigantic Hoax, Invented To Keep People Quiet And Diverted. Everyone Talks About Love: The Priests, The Advertising Posters, The Literati, And The Politicians, Those Of Them Who Make Love. And In Speaking Of Love And Offering It As A Panacea For Every Tragedy, They Would And Betray And Kill Both Body And Soul.
