“I do not fear death in view of the fact that I had been dead for billions and billions of years before I was born, and had not suffered the slightest inconvenience from it.” (Mark Twain)
“The world is so exquisite, with so much love and moral depth, that there is no reason to deceive ourselves with pretty stories for which there is little good evidence. Far better, it seems to me, in our vulnerability, is to look death in the eye and to be grateful for every day for the brief but magnificent opportunity that life provides.” (Carl Sagan)
“It is far better to grasp the universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying or reassuring.” (Carl Sagan)
"The world is my country; all of humanity are my brethren; and to do good deeds is my religion." (Thomas Paine)
