Faith means intense, usually confident, belief that is not based on evidence sufficient to command assent from every reasonable person. – Walter Kaufmann
The only theism worthy of our respect believes in God not because of the way the world is made but in spite of that. The only theism that is no less profound than the Buddhas atheism is that represented in the Bible by Job and Jeremiah. – Walter Kaufmann
To try to fashion something from suffering, to relish our triumphs, and to endure defeats without resentment: all that is compatible with the faith of a heretic. – Walter Kaufmann
Aversion is a form of bondage. We are tied to what we hate or fear.
