"I neglected my pal Humboldt. He's kind of rambling and lacks the ability to maintain an interesting conversation. But now we go back a long time, and we'll stuck it out." — Sep 02, 2013 10:52AM

“Fairy tales are more than true: not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten.”

![H.P. Lovecraft](https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/authors/1299165714i/9494._UX200_CR0,32,200,200_.jpg)
“We all know that any emotional bias -- irrespective of truth or falsity -- can be implanted by suggestion in the emotions of the young, hence the inherited traditions of an orthodox community are absolutely without evidential value.... If religion were true, its followers would not try to bludgeon their young into an artificial conformity; but would merely insist on their unbending quest for truth, irrespective of artificial backgrounds or practical consequences. With such an honest and inflexible openness to evidence, they could not fail to receive any real truth which might be manifesting itself around them. The fact that religionists do not follow this honourable course, but cheat at their game by invoking juvenile quasi-hypnosis, is enough to destroy their pretensions in my eyes even if their absurdity were not manifest in every other direction.”

“Now take my hand and hold it tight.
I will not fail you here tonight,
For failing you, I fail myself
And place my soul upon a shelf
In Hell's library without light.
I will not fail you here tonight.”
― The Book of Counted Sorrows
