Most people live for love and admiration. But it is by love and admiration that one should live. If any love is shown us we should recognize that we are quite unworthy of it. Nobody is worthy to be loved... or if that phrase is a bitter one to bear, let us say that everyone is worthy of love, except him who thinks he is. Love is a sacrament that should be taken kneeling..

Oscar Wilde

The way to get started is to take the first step with dream-powered optimism.

Debasish Mridha

Debasish Mridha

The whole of Nature is a book, the heavens a scroll; and they were intended to be used as such.

John Daniel

The traditional arguments for the existence of God have been fairly thoroughly criticised by philosophers. But the theologian can, if he wishes, accept this criticism. He can admit that no rational proof of God's existence is possible. And he can still retain all that is essential to his position, by holding that God's existence is known in some other, non-rational way. I think, however, that a more telling criticism can be made by way of the traditional problem of evil. Here it can be shown, not that religious beliefs lack rational support, but that they are positively irrational, that the several parts of the essential theological doctrine are inconsistent with one another, so that the theologian can maintain his position as a whole only by a much more extreme rejection of reason than in the former case. He must now be prepared to believe, not merely what cannot be proved, but what can be disproved from other beliefs that he also holds.

John Leslie Mackie

Dr. Peter Boghossian’s A Manual for Creating Atheists is a precise, passionate, compassionate and brilliantly reasoned work that will illuminate any and all minds capable of openness and curiosity. This is not a bedtime story to help you fall asleep, but a wakeup call that has the best chance of bringing your rational mind back to life.(Review of Dr. Peter Boghossian's book, 'A Manual for Creating Atheists')

Stefan Molyneux

Atheism is the philosophical equivalent of a fish denying the existence of land because he lacks the means to experience it.

J.Adam Snyder

I have never known anyone to win a battle waged against his emotions. When a sentiment hoists his glimmering blade into the air, the battle is lost before it has begun.

Kelseyleigh Reber

Historical definition of a country's borders... "...here's where my murder geography ends and your murder geography begins, at least until I get more murderers to expand my murder-fest.

Stefan Molyneux

Rights" are something made up by governments to make you feel like you're buying something with your taxes.

Stefan Molyneux

A libertarian is somebody who believes, of course, in personal liberty. And liberty is a personal thing; it is not collective. You don’t gain liberty because you belong to a group. So we don’t talk about women’s rights or gay rights or anything else. Everybody has an absolute equal right as an individual, and it comes to them naturally.

Ron Paul

Reason is an outcome of frailty and resentment. When Will fails to cope with the labour of life, or the life of labour, its fragile remnants are set to construct a slighter world of justifications.

Raheel Farooq

WHO WHAT WHERE WHY WHENPersonality redefines character through phases of wisdom at different ages

Kamil Ali

Sentiments that glorify humanity know no racial distinction.

Abhijit Naskar

Tolstoy was a Caucasian, Gandhi was an Asian, and Martin Luther King Jr. was a Negro, yet all of their hearts were inspired by the one idea of nonviolent resistance. King received it from Gandhi, Gandhi received it from Tolstoy, and Tolstoy received it from Christ.

Abhijit Naskar

It is character that should be the sole measure of judgement in the society of thinking humanity, and nothing short of that would do.

Abhijit Naskar

If not as a true human, let me tell you as a Biologist, color of the skin does not define an individual’s intelligence – it does not define an individual’s ambitions - it does not define an individual’s dreams – and above all, it does not define an individual’s character.

Abhijit Naskar

In the biological sense, race does not exist.

Abhijit Naskar

I am going through transformation. I enjoy the different transitions.

The Hartle-Hawking derivation of the unconditional probability of the existence of a universe of our sort is inconsistent with classical theism. The unconditional probability is very high, near to 1. For purposes of simplification, we are saying the probability is 99 percent; there is a 99 percent probability that a universe of our sort—I will call it a Hartle-Hawking universe—exists uncaused.The universe exists uncaused since the probability amplitude is determined by a summation or path integral over all possible histories of a finite universe. That is, the probability that a Hartle-Hawking universe exists follows directly from the natural-mathematical properties of possible finite universes; there is no need for a cause, probabilistic or otherwise, for there to be a 99 percent probability that a Hartle-Hawking universe will exist.This is not consistent with classical theism. According to classical theism, if a universe is to have any probability of existing, this probability is dependent on God's dispositions, beliefs, or choices. But the Hartle-Hawking probability is not dependent on any supernatural states or acts; Hartle and Hawking do not sum over anything supernatural in their path integral derivation of the probability amplitude.Furthermore, according to classical theism, the probability that a universe exist without divine causation is 0, and the probability that if a universe exists, it is divinely caused, is 1. Thus, the probabilities that are implied by classical theism are inconsistent with the probabilities implied by the Hartle-Hawking wave function of the universe.

Quentin Smith

If everything must have a cause, of course, this also applies to God; if God can exist in isolation, then why not the universe?

Etienne Vermeersch

I am the universe and the universe is inside of me.

Debasish Mridha

Lucid Dreaming is the ability of a brain to download the information of a possible futuristic state of an event from a Parallel Universe.

Vishwanath S J

How can we understand the world and the universe when we haven't even understood ourselves?

Anthony T.Hincks

Don't be afraid to talk because in the long run, you will be afraid that you were too silent.

Anthony T.Hincks

I've nothing against eye make-up and lipstick. But the fact is that we’re actually living on a planet in space. For me that’s an extraordinary thought. It’s mind-boggling just to think about the existence of space at all. But there are girls who can’t see the universe for eye liner.

Jostein Gaarder

Christian missions to India imply that India is a land of heathens, and, therefore, stands on the same level with the Andaman or the Fiji Islands. That a country which has been recognised in all ages the world over as the mother of all religions and the cradle of civilisation should be considered as pagan, shows how much ignorance prevails in Christendom. Since the Parliament of Religions, I have been studying Christian institutions, and I have also studied the way in which the Christian ministers and the missionaries are manufactured in this country, and have learned to pity them. We must not blame them too severely, because their education is too narrow to make them broad-minded. I grant that they are good-hearted, that they are good husbands and often fathers of large families, but generally they are very ignorant, especially of the history of civilisation and of the philosophy of religion of India. Most of them do not even know the history of ancient India.We know that in this age of competition, centralisation, and monopoly, very many people are forced out of business. The English say, 'The fool of the family goes into the Church'; so that when a youth is unable to make a living, he takes to missionary work, goes to India, and helps to introduce among the Hindus the doctrines of his church, which have long since been exploded by science.

Virchand Gandhi

Whatever you tell; lie or truth, can both destroy or save you.

Michael Bassey Johnson

Every morning we begin our new life with new joy. So let it be beautiful.

Debasish Mridha

There are those who hold first rankers and there are those who are heroes.

Amit Kalantri

I want people to respect me and not just my position.

Amit Kalantri

True humanity demands that every human should be loved equally, but if that's not possible for you then at least love whoever you wants to but respect everyone.

Amit Kalantri

Majority wins, but majority is not necessarily right and sometimes majority is awfully wrong.

Amit Kalantri

People crave for more respect than love, because they expect love only from few people but they want respect from everyone.

Amit Kalantri

The fastest and easiest way to accomplish any task is to do it with minimum breaks and pauses.

Amit Kalantri

People need appreciation from more persons than they need love from one person.

Amit Kalantri

If you are not satisfied with the things you have got then stop crying and start working and go get those things that will satisfy you.

Amit Kalantri

You may not appreciate the presence of good health, but you will definitely regret the absence of good health, because health is happiness.

Amit Kalantri

An ordinary man gets arrogant with beauty, conceited with knowledge and ruthless with power.

Amit Kalantri

I decided to do the easy task of changing situations and conditions by being a hero, than staying back to do the difficult task of changing people by being just a man.

Amit Kalantri

Youth is the most suitable age to enjoy the life completely or to work diligently for the life, what you decide makes your rest of the life ordinary or legendary respectively.

Amit Kalantri

Pages entertain me more than pictures do.

Amit Kalantri

Democracy is probably the only discovery by mankind which mostly brought it only happiness.

Amit Kalantri

I have argued that when we encounter other humans we experience them first as persons, and cannot help but do so. This means that in order to see a human person as an animal or organism we must abstract from the totality of our experience. My suggestion is that we take this fact seriously in understanding the ontology of everyday objects. According to this proposal a “human animal” or “human organism” is not a thing in its own right, but rather a particular perspective we take on ourselves and our lives, one that attends only to our purely biological functions.

Marya Schechtman

Memories are reality's ghosts

B.J. Neblett

One's interest or need does not annul other's right.

Al-Hafiz B.A. Masri

Egoism holds, therefore, is that each man's happiness is the sole good--that a number of different things are each of them the only good thing there is--an absolute contradiction! No more complete and thorough refutation of any theory could be desired.

G.E. Moore

We stood at the crossroads and we all knew that we should turn right to where the sign pointed, but in our stupidity we turned left and out over the precipice.I guess we had the same chance with pollution, but then again, we were at those damn crossroads.

Anthony T.Hincks

The language of the universe comes not from the voice but from the primordial silence. You can understand it by enhancing your feelings.

Debasish Mridha

Like flowers to a bee, feelings are the silent language of the heart.

Debasish Mridha

If you cannot stop yourself from getting angry, then at least get angry about things that matters.

Amit Kalantri

Anger is the most effective inspiration.

Amit Kalantri

When a man is at peace he is a man, when angry he is an animal.

Amit Kalantri

If all the world were Christian, it might not matter if all the world were educated. But a cultural life will exist outside the Church whether it exists inside or not. Good philosophy must exist, if for no other reason, because bad philosophy needs to be answered.

C.S. Lewis

Another anti-theoretical stratagem is to claim that in order to launch some fundamental critique of our culture, we would need to be standing at some Archimedean point beyond it. What this fails to see is that reflecting critically on our situation is part of our situation. It is a feature of the peculiar way we belong to the world. It is not some impossible light-in-the-refrigerator attempt to scrutinize ourselves when we are not there. Curving back on ourselves is as natural to us as it is to cosmic space or a wave of the sea. It does not entail jumping out of our own skin. Without such self-monitoring we would not have survived as a species.

Terry Eagleton
