There is no conflict between the ideal of religion and the ideal of science, but science is opposed to theological dogmas because science is founded on fact.

Capitalism, by contrast, results in a sort of reality-forced altruism: I may not want to help you, I may dislike you, but if I don’t give you a product or service you want, I will starve. Voluntary exchange is more moral than forced redistribution. Ben Shapiro
Solitude is very different from a ‘time-out’ from our busy lives. Solitude is the very ground from which community grows.

Henri Nouwen
You simply have to put one foot in front of the other and keep going. Put blinders on and plow right ahead. George Lucas

A constant stream of ‘free’ money is a perfect way to keep an inefficient or simply bad government in power.

Dambisa Moyo

We act as if that being of a man or that being of a woman is actually an internal reality or something that is simply true about us, a fact about us, but actually it’s a phenomenon that is being produced all the time and reproduced all the time, so to say gender is performative is to say that nobody really is a gender from the start. Judith Butler
