“I agree that faith is essential to success in life, but I do not accept your definition of faith, i.e. belief in life after death.”

Science and everyday life cannot and should not be separated.

Your faith rests on the future of yourself and others as individuals, mine in the future and fate of our successors.

I agree that faith is essential to success in life, but I do not accept your definition of faith, i.e. belief in life after death.

My method of thought and reasoning is influenced by a scientific training—if that were not so my scientific training will have been a waste and a failure.

In my view, all that is necessary for faith is the belief that by doing our best we shall succeed in our aims: the improvement of mankind.

Again, I see no reason why the belief that we are insignificant or fortuitous should lessen our faith.

I maintain that faith in this world is perfectly possible without faith in another world.

I see no reason to believe that a creator of protoplasm or primeval matter, if such there be, has any reason to be interested in our insignificant race in a tiny corner of the universe, and still less in us, as still more insignificant individuals.

I would willingly go more primitive if it were necessary to preserve my freedom.

I am incapable of conceiving infinity, and yet I do not accept finity. I want this adventure that is the context of my life to go on without end.

I have been surfing for my whole life. I love it and I don’t know that I can get much better now, I have peaked, which bothers me but I have to accept it.

Do not fear to be eccentric in opinion, for every opinion now accepted was once eccentric.

Mistakes are normal and human. Make them small, accept them, correct them, and forget them.

Too many times I’ve reached into shallow wells searching for acceptance, and too many times my bucket has come empty.

Hold on to the ones who accept your rainbow as well as dark skies.

Friendships exist in the fluctuations between acceptance and rejection.

I accepted all of you – except for the vital part, that couldn’t accept all of me.
