“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: A Study of Religious Belief and Skepticism

“Words are, of course, the most powerful drug used by mankind.”
― Rudyard Kipling

“The road to hell is paved with adverbs.”
― Stephen King, On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft
