Quote by Richard Dawkins

“Os livros de física podem ser complicados, mas eles, assim como os carros e os computadores, são produtos de objetos biológicos - cérebros humanos. Os objetos e os fenômenos que um livro de física descreve são mais simples que uma única célula do corpo de seu autor. E o autor consiste em trilhões de células, muitas delas diferentes umas das outras, organizadas com arquitetura intrincada e engenharia de precisão para formar uma máquina capaz de escrever um livro.”

“The border between personal and transpersonal experience is a complex region. It is a territory often filled with spiritual and religious views.

They may be felt by groups as well—in terms of shared “social” space, communal territories, or even national identities.”

“What if children grew up with parents who modeled a loving relationship, who openly showed each other affection and respect, expressing feelings authentically, and who lovingly, even playfully, turned conflicts toward solutions? What if we grew up feeling embraced, loved, seen and valued for the whole of who we are? Would it all turn out differently? You bet it would!”

“Slow down; live fast, Who’s right and who’s not? Who am I to tell you so? Seek within; pray to the man above, Who’s right, and who’s wrong? But who am I to tell you so? Man created God on his own image, God created Satan, and Satan created man, But who is right and who’s not? Who the hell am I to tell you so? Live fast or slow, Create your demons and conquer your fears, Seek within, or look up and hope for the man above, No one’s right, no one’s wrong But, who am I to tell you so?”
