I know that some endeavor to throw the mantle of romance over the subject and treat woman like some ideal existence not liable to the ills of life. Let those deal in fancy who have nothing better to deal in we have to do with sober sad realities with stubborn facts.

Saturdays and Sundays America in the year 2009 does not in some ways differ significantly from the country that existed almost 50 years ago. This is truly sad.

I fell in love with many women at school who had no idea I existed. I'm a bit of a romantic.

To advocate a New Order was to seek freedom and respect for peoples without prejudice and to seek a stable basis for the existence all peoples equally and free of threats.

A jealous lover of human liberty deeming it the absolute condition of all that we admire and respect in humanity I reverse the phrase of Voltaire and say that if God really existed it would be necessary to abolish him.

Religion may be defined thus: a belief in and homage rendered to existences unseen and causes unknown.

How do you live with evil? Art is traditionally - certainly with my secular background - the answer but art is very self-referential whereas religion claims to go beyond the bounds of human existence.

If God existed and if He cared for humankind He would never have given us religion.

Existentialism is about being a saint without God being your own hero without all the sanction and support of religion or society.

I firmly believe that the mission of religion in the 21st century must be to contribute concretely to the peaceful coexistence of humankind.

There's a really unique relationship between a single parent and their child. Marriages so easily break up. There's kind of this temporary deal about marriages. That's one of the things that makes it stressful and that's something that's nonexistent in a parent-child relationship.

My relationship with my father is pretty non-existent.

Once you accept the existence of God - however you define him however you explain your relationship to him - then you are caught forever with his presence in the center of all things.

I don't need anyone to rectify my existence. The most profound relationship we will ever have is the one with ourselves.

Everyone asks me about being so worried or thinking about existence as if I'm the only person who can't understand why a tree grows the way it does or why a person is in power when they're not that great. These are questions everyone has.

Now we occupy a lowly position both in space and rank in comparison with the heavenly sphere and the Almighty is Most High not in space but with respect to absolute existence greatness and power.

Not the power to remember but its very opposite the power to forget is a necessary condition for our existence.

These years in silence and reflection made me stronger and reminded me that acceptance has to come from within and that this kind of truth gives me the power to conquer emotions I didn't even know existed.

Some day science may have the existence of mankind in power and the human race can commit suicide by blowing up the world.

The struggle for existence holds as much in the intellectual as in the physical world. A theory is a species of thinking and its right to exist is coextensive with its power of resisting extinction by its rivals.

What then do you call your soul? What idea have you of it? You cannot of yourselves without revelation admit the existence within you of anything but a power unknown to you of feeling and thinking.

It is true that you can't prove a negative. However the existence of God is provable in the same way a building is positive proof that there was a builder.

My friends never talk to me about my poetry because they're embarrassed that I write it or they're embarrassed by what I write about which are not such extraordinarily terrifying things but they are the state of human existence.

In the language of poetry where every word is weighed nothing is usual or normal. Not a single stone and not a single cloud above it. Not a single day and not a single night after it. And above all not a single existence not anyone's existence in this world.
