Richard Dawkins
“The God of the Old Testament is arguably the most unpleasant character in all fiction: jealous and proud of it; a petty, unjust, unforgiving control-freak; a vindictive, bloodthirsty ethnic cleanser; a misogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadomasochistic, capriciously malevolent bully.”
Richard Dawkins, The God Delusion

Carl Sagan
“It is said that men may not be the dreams of the god, but rather that the gods are the dreams of men.”
Carl Sagan, Cosmos

John  Adams
“You will never be alone with a poet in your pocket.”
John Adams, The Letters of John and Abigail Adams

Winston S. Churchill
“He has all the virtues I dislike and none of the vices I admire."

[On British Labour politician Stafford Cripps.]
Winston S. Churchill, Wealth, War and Wisdom

Stanley Fish
“The purpose of a good education is to show you that there are three sides to a two-sided story.”
Stanley Fish
