S'il n'y avait aucun Dieu, il serait nécessaire de l'inventer.

If there were no God, it would be necessary to invent him.

Voltaire (1694-1778 Francois Marie Arouet)

Clip Source: s197.photobucket.com

Clip Source: us.mg2.mail.yahoo.com

A Boss in Heaven is the best excuse for a boss on earth,

Therefore, if God existed, only in one way could he serve human liberty - by ceasing to exist.

I reverse the phrase of Voltaire, and say that if God really existed, it would be necessary to abolish him

Mikhail Bakunin (1814 - 1876, from God and the state)

clipper's remarks: dear clipper.. i would like 2 re-mark that these Quotes i try send from time 2 time, are an experiment 2collect sayings & maxims that may enhance wit wisdom & humor, and may correspond with the spirit of Einstein`s words:

" I am a deeply religious nonbeliever. This is somewhat new kind of religion.
What I see in Nature is a magnificent structure that we can comprehend only very imperfectly, and that must fill
a thinking person with a feeling of humility.
This is a genuinely religious feeling that nothing to do with mysticism.
I don`t try to imagine a personal God; it suffices to stand in awe
at the structure of the world, insofar as it allows our inadequate senses to appreciate it."

clipper's remarks: " The great American writer Herman Melville says somewhere in The White Whale that a man ought to be “a patriot to heaven,” and I believe it is a good thing, this ambition to be cosmopolitan, this idea to be citizens not of a small parcel of the world that changes according to the currents of politics, according to the wars, to what occurs, but to feel that the whole world is our country. "

—Jorge Luis Borges, “Homage to Victoria Ocampo”, in Borges en Su

clipper's remarks: i suggest reading this quote through a positive perspective pointing to the possible Human that as part of being-alive dares asking himself again & again the very simple basic questions:
Who Why & What am i .. ?? ..

If you would be a real seeker after truth, it is necessary that at least

once in your life,

you doubt, as far as possible, all things.

The Church says the Earth is flat, but I know that it is
round. For I have seen the shadow on the Moon, and I have
more faith in a shadow than in the Church.

clipper's remarks: 1. the above quote is graven on Kazantzakis tombstone

2. " They think of me as a scholar, an intellectual, a pen-pusher.
And I am none of them.
When I write, my fingers
get covered not in ink, but in blood.
I think I am nothing more than this:
an undaunted soul. "

Words Nikos Kazantzakis
used to describe himself in 1950.
