“A line comes back to Marie-Laure from Jules Verne: Science, my lad, is made up of mistakes, but they are mistakes which it is useful to make, because they lead little by little to the truth.”
― Anthony Doerr, All the Light We Cannot See

“We fundamentalists are a pack of mood-loving showoffs. I'm sure the Minor Prophets would have found subject for correction.”
― Elisabeth Elliot, Shadow of the Almighty: The Life and Testament of Jim Elliot

“No religion I ever encountered made any sense. None are consistent. Most gods are megalomaniacs and paranoid psychotics by their worshippers' description. I don't see how they could survive their own insanity. But it's not impossible that human beings are incapable of interpreting a power so much greater than themselves. Maybe religions are twisted and perverted shadows of truth. Maybe there are forces which shape the world. I myself have never understood why, in a universe so vast, a god would care about something so trivial as worship or human destiny.”
― Glen Cook, The White Rose

“People needed to believe in gods, if only because it was so hard to believe in people.”
― Terry Pratchett, Pyramids
