and that's why I'm better off alone"
~Shrek~

than you can possibly imagine."

"We hold it for a fundamental and undeniable truth 'that religion, or the duty
which we owe our Creator, and the manner of discharging it, can be directed
only by reason and conviction, not by force or violence.' The religion, then,
of every man must be left to the conviction and conscience of every man:
and that it is the right of every man to exercise it as these may dictate."
~James Madison~

"When religion comes in at the door common sense goes out at the window."
~Lemuel K. Washburn~

"With its fears and superstitions and prejudices, religion
poisons the mind of any one who believes in it, and even
the best man, under the influence of religion, cannot reason
wholesomely. Atheism, on the contrary, opens the mind to
the clean winds of truth and establishes a fresh-air sanity."
~E. Haldeman-Julius~

"Acceptance without proof is the fundamental
characteristic of Western religion,
Rejection without proof is the fundamental
characteristic of Western science."

"The Bible is a book that has been read more and
examined less than any book that ever existed."

"Indifference to religion, due to thought, strengthens character."
~W.T. Root~

"I could not believe that anyone who has read this book would be so
foolish as to proclaim that the Bible in every literal word was the

read the text? Are they hopelessly misinformed? Is there a different
Bible? Are they blinded by a combination of ego needs and naivete?"
~Bishop John Shelby Spong~

"Theology is never any help; it is searching in a dark
cellar at midnight for a black cat that isn't there."
~Robert A. Heinlein~

"The Bible is not my Book and Christianity is not my religion. I could
never give assent to the long complicated statements of Christian dogma."
~Abraham Lincoln~

"What effect will logic have upon a religious gentleman who firmly
believes that a God of infinite compassion sent two bears to tear
thirty or forty children in pieces for laughing at a bald-headed prophet?"
~Robert G. Ingersoll~

"The believer is happy; the doubter is wise."
~Hungarian proverb~

"There may be a God who will make us happy in
another world. If he does, it will be more than
he has accomplished in this. A being who has the
power to prevent it and yet allows thousands and
millions of his children to starve, who devours
them with earthquakes, who allows whole nations
to be enslaved, cannot-in my judgment-be implicitly
depended upon to justice in another world."
~Robert G. Ingersoll~

"All religions have been made by men."
~Napoleon Bonaparte~

"They keep their free thinking to themselves because of
the prevalence and customary acceptance of religious
rites and church doings as established institutions,
the foundations of which it would be unpopular to openly
contradict or oppose...When the people's presidents,
governors, legislators and political party conventions
declare their dependence upon God for their guidance,
surely the uninformed wanderer in intellectual darkness
is encouraged to do the same, while unbelievers assent
to the procession by maintaining silence."
~Culbert L. Olson~

"I have never met a religious person, no matter
how devout, who has not at one time in their life
thought that maybe there is no god, maybe I'm
talking to myself, maybe this prayer isn't answered.
We are despised because we are a walking, talking
personification of the doubts that are harbored
in the subconscious of every religious person.
And what religionists can't stand about us is that
by and large we are happy when we're supposed
to be unhappy without a god."
~Jon Murray~

"No man [should] be compelled to frequent or support
any religious worship, place, or ministry whatsoever,
nor [should he] be enforced, restrained, molested,
or burdened in his body or goods, nor... otherwise
suffer on account of his religious opinions or belief...
All men [should] be free to profess and by argument
to maintain their opinions in matters of religion,
and...the same [should] in no wise diminish,
enlarge, or affect their civil capacities."
~Thomas Jefferson~

"Christ according to the faith, is the second person
in the Trinity, the Father being the first and the
holy Ghost the third. Each of these three persons is God.
Christ is his own father and his own son. The Holy Ghost
is neither father nor son, but both. The son was begotten
by the father, but existed before he was begotten-
just the same before as after. Christ is just as old
as his father, and the father is just as young as his son.
The Holy Ghost proceeded form the Father and Son, but was
an equal to the Father and Son before he proceeded, that
is to say before he existed, but he is of the same age as
the other two. Nothing ever was, nothing ever can be more
perfectly idiotic and absurd than the dogma of the Trinity."
~Robert G. Ingersoll~

"Science has done more for the development of
western civilization in one hundred years than
Christianity did in eighteen hundred years."
~John Burroughs~

"Beliefs are what divide people. Doubt unites them."
~Peter Ustinov~

"The most extraordinary Roman soldiers that
Rome ever heard of were those soldiers that
were set to watch the tomb of Jesus. They
managed to fall asleep simultaneously in order to
allow Jesus to pass unseen, and when they awoke,
for a bribe they deliberately committed suicide
by admitting that they had slept, an admission
that meant instant execution. Was ever invention
so stupidly desperate and mendacity so recklessly
absurd as that invention and that mendacity upon
which rests the story of the Resurrection,
upon which the whole fabric of the Christian faith
has elected to stand or fall? The basis is too
puerile to support a story told by an idiot for
the purpose of imposing upon a fool."
~W.S. Ross~

"If you were taught that elves caused rain,
every time it rained, you'd see the proof of elves."
~Ariex~

"Religious fanaticism has clearly produced,
and in all probability will continue to produce,
enormous amounts of bickering, fighting, violence,
bloodshed, homicide, feuds, wars, and genocide.
For all its peace-inviting potential, therefore,
arrant (not to mention arrogant) religiosity has led
to immense individual and social harm by fomenting an
incredible amount of anti-human anti-humane aggression."
~Albert Ellis~

"I once believed in god. I got better."

"Christian faith is not merely believing that
there is a god. It is believing that there is a god
no matter what the evidence on the question may be.
"Have faith," in the Christian sense, means
"make yourself believe that there is a god without
regard to evidence." Christian faith is a habit of
flouting reason in the forming and maintaining
one's answer to the question whether there is a god.
Its essence is the determination to believe that
there is a god no matter what the evidence may be."
~Richard Robinson~

"Not a lack of belief, but adherence to
false knowledge is the enemy of progress.
And certain that we have found everything
worth searching for, we see no point in
further search and inquiry. Believing what
is unworthy of belief, believing falsehood
as if it were incontrovertible truth,
and sure that we know everything we will
ever need to know, we are worse than ignorant."
~Chester Dolan~

"I always say shopping is cheaper than a psychiatrist."
~Tammy Faye Bakker~

"The Bible is the greatest hoax in all history.
The leading characters of the Old Testament would
today be in the penitentiary and those of the New
would be under observation in psychopathic wards."
~Charles Smith~

"Dont lose touch with the past,
lose touch with reality instead"

"I'll be with you always,
and even when you don't want me to be."
~Diana Ross~

"My mother said, 'You won't amount to anything
because you procrastinate.' I said, 'Just wait.'"
~Judy Tenuta~

"Girls mature faster than boys, cost more to raise,
and statistics show that the old saw about girls
not knowing about money and figures is a myth.
Girls start to outspend boys before puberty
and they manage to maintain this lead until death
or an ugly credit manager, whichever comes first...
Girls can slam a door louder, beg longer,
turn tears on and off like a faucet,
and invented the term, 'You don't trust me.'"
~Erma Bombeck~

"I haven't moved on, I haven't let go,
And that is why I am clinching on to
the one thing I hold dear in my life."
~"Dawson's Creek"~

"There are so many stars in the sky.
Only some are bright enough to be noticed.
Among those you choose to ignore are those
who are willing to shine for you forever
even if your glance remains elsewhere."

"One can fall in love many times,
but when one truly loves,
it only happens once and lasts forever..."

"Once a heart is broken, it is broken forever,
no matter how hard one tries to heal that heart.
But if it should heal in one piece, it doesn't heal 100%."

"Cherish things while you still have them,
before they're gone and you realize
just how precious they really are."

"Yesterday was a memory,
tomorrow is a dream,
and today is a bitch!"

It's caused by the absence of you."

I would change the way you feel about me."

"If love were a choice, who would choose such exquisite pain?"

"The greatest pain in love is loving someone you can't have"

"The most beautiful discovery that true friends can make
is that they can grow separately without growing apart."

"Some people make the world a better place,
just by being in it."

"People who love you
people who you love back
people that will always be there for you
through the good times and the bad
they make you happy when you are sad
they are angels that have yet to earn their wings
they are your dearest friends"

"Do you ever just get down on your knees and thank
God you have access to me and my dementia?"

you walk away with nothing..."
~"Ally McBeal"~

The question is whether or not
you are perfect for each other."

"Are you Married?...Are you Homeless?...Are you a Drummer?"
~City of Angels~

~"My Best Friend's Wedding"~

"Michael... I love you. I've loved you for nine years,
I've just been too arrogant and scared to realize it,
and...well, now I'm just scared.
So, I realize this comes at a very inopportune time but
I really have this gigantic favor to ask of you.
Choose me. Marry me. Let me make you happy.
Oh, that sounds like three favors, doesn't it?"
~"My Best Friend's Wedding"~

"Michael is chasing Kimmy,
you're chasing Michael,
but whose chasing you?"
~"My Best Friend's Wedding"~

"Don't give up on anybody because miracles happen everyday."

"If you love somebody you should never give up on them because
you never know when they could turn around and finally love you back."

"Some people say, 'Never kiss a friend
because that friend will be forever lost,'
but what if the one person you are looking
for is that friend you've never kissed?"

"Growing up is full of big moments.
Some of them you can see coming from a mile away
and some you can't see at all..."

It's about accepting and remembering, and other times forgetting..."

"Become who you are."
~Nietzsche~

"As I lie here in the midst of the night,
I wonder if you're thinking about me.
Maybe you've already fallen asleep,

one things for sure; I'm always thinking about you,
and when I'm asleep, you're always in my dreams."

"You make me feel so confused.

will soon be forgotten, but I've loved another with all
my heart and soul, and to me, this has always been enough."
~Nicholas Sparks~

"I love you for what you are, but I love you
yet more for what you are going to be.
I love you not so much for your realities
as for your ideals.

which may be so hazardously little.
You are going forward toward something great.
I am on the way with you,
and therefore I love you."

These are what we stay alive for."

is conversation."

"Religion is the fashionable substitute for belief."
~Oscar Wilde~

"Racism demeans both the hated and the hater,
because racists, in denying full humanity to others,
fail the humanity in themselves. Like tribalism,
fundamentalism, homophobia and all the other
shallow responses of one person to another,
racism concentrates on WHAT you are, and ignores
WHO you are. Racism sees only the label-
not the person wearing it. Racism loves 'us'
and hates 'them', without every discovering
the true identity of 'them'. Racism, like cruelty,
is nothing more than a failure of the imagination."

we'll meet again someday."

"I couldn't help it when I started to cry.
I've told myself that love's a lie...

if it's not okay then it's not the end."

wanted to scream not to touch me and half

the ones that bring back childhood memories, best friends,
first love, first heartbreak...the memories."

or how much you try, someone will not
understand how much you've done until
you're gone and they have no one left
who actually cares about them, who can
look out for them, and who will understand."

"Tonight, while I was doing my homework, I thought of you,
just right out of the blue, for no particular reason;
I just did. And I realized that at that very moment,
all I wanted to do was tell you how much I love you...
but I can't. It would be breaking the rules of friendship
because we're friends and that's all we'll ever be."

"The worst thing in life is to lose a friend,
a friend that means the world to you,
a friend that you put all your trust and faith in,
a friend that you believed in from the start,
a friend that took the center of your heart,
a friend that you'd die for,
a friend that you wanted to cherish for a lifetime,
a friend, a good friend, a best friend."

"Everyone has a best friend during each stage of life.
Only a precious few have the same one."

"And so it comes just as it is, a day no longer here.
And through my trembling fingertips, the memories of the year...
I try not to wave farewell to all our dreams, I will forget you never,
I wonder if the crazy times will stay with you forever...
But as I cry in pain of losing you, my dear and such good friend,
I will not close the book and say 'farewell, this is the end'...
For goodbyes create swift hellos, and days from now you'll see,
That though it hurts to say goodbye, your friend I'll always be."

"When it comes to love,
you don't get to choose,
you just fall;
When it comes to friends,
you don't go out and search,
it's whoever is there to catch you."

"People think it is a problem when
they start to love their best friend,
but your lover should be your best friend."

"If you're really fortunate there are a
handful of people in your life who mean
it when they say, "I'll be there for you."
~Dave Barry~

"Friends are like condoms,
they protect you when things get hard."

"I'll never find another friend to replace you.
No one will ever touch my world exactly like you did.
No on who's quite so thoughtful, no one I cherish so.
No one will mean so much to me, I just wanted to you to know."

"I'll remember all the laughter as we go our separate ways,
but there's so much we're still learning and we cannot be afraid.
There's a world outside our door and nothing's in our way,
but if its not what we're looking for, we'll meet again someday."

"As I watch you walk down the aisle at
graduation I will be crying tears of joy,
because you have finally made it and I am
so proud of you. The second ones will be of
sadness, for I know each step you take is
one that will take you farther away from me."

"When the world around me goes insane,
you're here to remind me that
a few good things remain."

sharing, laughter, tears, jokes, and tons more.
And then without explanation you were gone.
I looked to where they were waiting for an answer,
and then said softly, "Once...I thought I did."

"What is love and what does it define?
Who's to say and who's to draw the line?
And within this world and all its fuss,
who's to say if it's love or a simple crush?"

"Don't regret what you said, regret what
you didn't say when you had the chance."

"Sometimes I just can't ignore the
way I feel when I see you smile..."

"You can't win by holding back your feelings
because you never know when someone's
feeling the same way about you..."

"Sometimes, no matter how much you do,
or how much you try, someone will not
understand how much you've done until
you're gone and they have no one left
who actually cares about them,
who can look out for them,
and who will understand."

"Some people can't believe in themselves
until someone else believes in them first."
~"Good Will Hunting"~

"We could learn a lot from crayons:
some are pretty, some dull,
some have weird names,
some are different colors.
But they all manage to live in the same box."

"All people need three things-something to do,
someone to love, and something to hope for."

"I keep holding on. Some say I'm stupid.
Some say I'm crazy. But, they can never know
what it was like. They can never know how it felt.
I keep loving you. Most people call me pathetic.
Most people call me insane. But, they can never
know what I'm going through. They will never see
what I see. They will never feel the way I feel.
So, I'll just keep holding on."

"So, let me ask you this...
if I said I was moving on
and never coming back,
what would you do?"

"What are we? Are we friends? Are we more?
Where do we stand? Are you staying?
Or, are you walking out the door?
What are you doing? Are you leaving her
and coming back to me? Am I going to have to
wait some more? I need to know because
what we're doing is killing me.
I need to know what you're heart
is telling you to do because mine's
talking to me too. I need you to make up
your mind so I can finally say, 'I'm fine.'"

"It's so important to hold onto the memories,
and yet sometimes you just have to wonder whether
the memories are the things that are holding you back."

"These tears that fall, they don't fall for you,
just for a memory I thought was true."

"Love can make you happy. Love can make you sad.
Love can make you have feelings that you never had.
Love can make you smile. Love can make you frown.
Love can make you do things when you're feeling down.
Love can make you weak. Love can make you strong.
Love can make you right, or it can make you wrong.
Love can make you live. Love can make you die.
Love can make you ask the question "why"?
Love can make you laugh. Love can make you cry.
Love can break your heart when someone says good-bye."

"One of the hardest things in life is having
words in your heart that you can't utter."

"It's kinda hard to go out with someone, when you know,
deep down, you're still in love with somebody else."

"It's time to let you go. It's time to say good-bye.
No more excuses, no more tears to cry.
There's been so many changes. I've been so confused.
All along you were the one. All the time I never knew.
I want you to be happy. You're my best friend.
But it's so hard to let you go now, with all that could have been.
I'll always have the memories. She'll always have you.
Fate has a way of changing just when you don't want it to.
Throw away the chains. Let love fly away.
'Til love comes again...I'll be okay."

"How can you just walk away from me,
when all I can do is watch you leave?
Cause we've shared the laughter and the pain,
and even shared the tears.
You're the only one who really knew me at all.
I wish I could just make you turn around and see me cry.
There's so much I need to say to you,
so many reasons why you're the only one
who really knew me at all."

"I tell you goodbye with tears in my eyes.
I wish I was there to stay by your side.
The time passes by, but not fast enough.
I try to be strong but I'm not that tough."

"If it's real, if it's true love,
then it'll always be there.
You can pretend its gone,
and even move on.
But that love, it's still there.
In the depths of your mind,
sometimes a single object
or song triggers it all,
and your right back where you started.
In the arms of the one you lost."

"What you don't know is that when you say you will call,
I will wait by the phone until you do,
and when you don't, that hurts the worst of all."

"Somebody tell my head to tell my heart
that I'm better off without you."

"Sometimes I'll look at you and wonder if you ever look at me.
Sometimes I'll think of you and wonder if you ever think of me.
Sometimes I'll remember how I fell in love with you
and wonder if you ever really loved me."

"How could I have been so blind
and not seen that you
only wanted to be friends?
Oh yes, I know why.
Because you acted as if
we were more than friends.
You built me up only to let me fall,
and not help me back up again,
and here I am on the ground,
crying over what could have been."

"I wanna be
somebody's somebody
someone's someone
some sweet lovers lover
I wanna be that one
someone faithful to someone faithful
someone kind to someone kind
somebody to somebody
who loves me."

"My feelings for you I can't keep inside
my thoughts and dreams I can no longer hide
I want to tell you how much I care for you
but I'm scared of what might happen and of what is true
scared of loving and of letting someone love me
us, together, why can't we just be
scared of hurting our friendship now that we understand
because last time you wanted to walk with her hand in hand
but now things are different and I still want to be with you
however I'm scared and I don't know what to do
don't know whether to listen to my head or follow my heart
don't know what to say or even where to start
so scared of love of feelings and such
why's it gotta be like this when I want you so much?"

"He's the one I call in the middle of the night
He makes everything right
Holds me when I start to cry
Makes me smile with just his eyes
Shares my hopes, dreams, and fears
Wipes away all my fears
Loves me without regret
I just haven't found him yet"

"Honesty, is such a lonely word, everyone is so untrue,
Honesty is hardly ever heard, but mostly what I need from you."

"Do you miss him at the most happy and fulfilling times in your life?
Just because you miss him when the world is quiet and you feel alone
doesn't mean you love him...you will miss anyone when you are lonely
It's when your life is going great and you still feel
the ache in your heart because he isn't there to see
the genuine smile on your face and happiness in your life."

"Yeah, I'm alone, but I don't need happy
couples walking in the hall to remind me."

"Every time I look into your eyes, I'm helplessly aware
that the someone I've been searching for is right there."

"They say there is a reason, they say that time will heal,
but neither time nor reason can change the way I feel.
No one knows the heartache that hides behind my smile,
No one knows how many times I've broken down and cried.
I want to tell you something so there won't be any doubt.
You're so wonderful to think of but so hard to live without."

"All though you may not love me,
All though you may not care,
But if you ever need me,
You know I'll always be there,
Your heart may not be broken,
Your heart may not be free,
But if you ever need someone,
You can always count on me."

"Girls play at sex to get love
and guys play at love to get sex."

"Sometimes I look at you, and I wonder...
do you ever sit here and look at me too?"

"How come you have enough time to go out
and make other girls fall in love with you,
but you don't have enough time to pay
attention to the girl who already does?"

"Forget the times he walked by,
forget the times he made you cry,
forget the times he spoke your name,
remember now you're not the same,
forget the times he held your hand,
forget the sweet things if you can,
forget the times and don't pretend,
remember now he's just your friend."

"For a few moments you made me feel as though
I actually meant something to someone..."

"Sometimes I think love is like tears we try to hide.
Only truly apparent as it slips away."

"I may not get to see you as often as I'd like,
I may not get to hold you all through the night,
but deep inside my heart, I know that this is true,
no matter what I do, I will always be in love with you."

"What if I told you I don't care
It makes not difference if your there
What if I told you I'm glad you're gone
I wished you'd leave for so long
What if I told you I never again wanted to hear your voice
See touch or hug you was my choice
That I hate you to the core, the bone
What if I told you weren't worth a tear
That you leaving never brought me fear
What if I told you that everything I just said is a lie
And every night I think of you and cry
What if I told you I want you back
That your love is what I lack
What if I told you my love is true
Just what exactly would you do?"

"After all this time you'd think that I wouldn't feel the same...
But time melts into nothing and nothing's changed."

"It's so hard to say "I love you," and not draw back in tears
It's so hard to know that you're not there to help me face my fears
It's so hard to know the phone's at reach, but I can not hear your voice
It's so hard to see you laughing when I'm crying deep inside
It's so hard to just find feelings and now have to make them hide
It's so hard to live without you, when I need you more then words
I want to scream how much I love you but hold back and not be heard
It's so hard to go to sleep at night when I can not dream of you
It's so hard to think that you might fall in love with someone new
It's so hard to not start crying when I hear your favorite song
It's so hard to sit and wonder, where did I go wrong?
It's so hard to live without you if I only would have known
I will never love another, I would rather be alone."

"Of all the boys I have ever met, you're the one I won't forget.
I know now we are just friends, but to me us two will never end.
If I had one dream tonight, it would be of me and you.
If I had one wish, I'd wish you loved me too."

"I never really regretted telling you that I liked you,
the only regret I have is never
hearing what you really thought of me."

"It's better to love someone you can't have
then to have someone you can't love."

"She loves him more than he will ever know,
he loves her more than he will ever show."

"Until this moment, I never understood how
hard it was to lose something you never had."

"I liked you because you could make me smile.
I fell in love with you because you made me
want to be a better person. Now that you're
leaving me, what am I supposed to do?"
~Lisa Gilbert~

"I know when you leave,
distance will keep us apart.
But distance, no matter how far,
can't change these feelings in my heart."

"It's easy to fall in love,
but hard to find someone to catch you."

"Some people are just not meant to be in your life
no matter how much you want them to be."

"Never say goodbye when you still want to try,
never give up when you still feel you can take it,
never say you don't love that person anymore
when you can't let go."

"A sad thing about life is when you meet someone
that means a lot to you, only to find out in the end,
that it wasn't bound to be and you just have to let go."

"You look in my eyes and I get emotional inside.
I know it's crazy but you still can touch my heart.
And after all this time, You'd think that I,
I wouldn't feel the same but time melts into nothing
and nothing's changed."

"The odd thing about this form of communication is that
you're more likely to talk about nothing than something.
But I just want to say, that all this nothing
has meant more to me than so many somethings."

"Whenever you look at me, I just want to melt,
and I want to stare at you forever...
and I don't want any moment with you to end."

"What is meant to be will always find a way."

"Rome was far better when Pagan than when Catholic. It was better to allow
gladiators and criminals to fight than to burn honest men. The greatest of
the Romans denounced the cruelties of the arena. Seneca condemned the combats
even of wild beasts. He was tender enough to say that "we should have a bond
of sympathy for all sentient beings, knowing that only the depraved and base
take pleasure in the sight of blood and suffering." Aurelius compelled the
gladiators to fight with blunted swords. Roman lawyers declared that all men
are by nature free and equal. Woman, under Pagan rule in Rome, became as free
as man. Zeno, long before the birth of Christ, taught that virtue alone
establishes a difference between men. We know that the Civil Law is the
foundation of our codes. We know that fragments of Greek and Roman art --
a few manuscripts saved from Christian destruction, some inventions and
discoveries of the Moors -- were the seeds of modern civilization.
Christianity, for a thousand years, taught memory to forget and reason to
believe. Not one step was taken in advance. Over the manuscripts of
philosophers and poets, priests with their ignorant tongues thrust out,
devoutly scrawled the forgeries of faith. For a thousand years the torch of
progress was extinguished in the blood of Christ, and his disciples, moved
by ignorant zeal, by insane, cruel creeds, destroyed with flame and sword a
hundred million of their fellow-men. They made this world a hell. But if
cathedrals had been universities -- if dungeons of the Inquisition had been
laboratories -- if Christians had believed in character instead of creed --
if they had taken from the Bible all the good and thrown away the wicked and
absurd -- if domes of temples had been observatories -- if priests had been
philosophers -- if missionaries had taught the useful arts -- if astrology
had been astronomy -- if the black art had been chemistry -- if superstition
had been science -- if religion had been humanity -- it would have been a
heaven filled with love, with liberty and joy."
~Robert G. Ingersoll~
