I like 'feminism is the radical notion that women are human beings'.

But that's good too.

"The best fantasy is written in the language of dreams. It is alive as dreams are alive, more real than real ... for a moment at least ... that long magic moment before we wake.

Fantasy is silver and scarlet, indigo and azure, obsidian veined with gold and lapis lazuli. Reality is plywood and plastic, done up in mud brown and olive drab. Fantasy tastes of habaneros and honey, cinnamon and cloves, rare red meat and wines as sweet as summer. Reality is beans and tofu, and ashes at the end. Reality is the strip malls of Burbank, the smokestacks of Cleveland, a parking garage in Newark. Fantasy is the towers of Minas Tirith, the ancient stones of Gormenghast, the halls of Camelot. Fantasy flies on the wings of Icarus, reality on Southwest Airlines. Why do our dreams become so much smaller when they finally come true?

We read fantasy to find the colors again, I think. To taste strong spices and hear the songs the sirens sang. There is something old and true in fantasy that speaks to something deep within us, to the child who dreamt that one day he would hunt the forests of the night, and feast beneath the hollow hills, and find a love to last forever somewhere south of Oz and north of Shangri-La.

They can keep their heaven. When I die, I'd sooner go to middle Earth."
— George R.R. Martin

Jayne: "Do you know what the chain of command is here? It's the chain I go get and beat you with to show you who's in command."

Quote
Book: "What are we up to, sweetheart?"

River: "Fixing your Bible."

Book: "I, um...(alarmed)...what?"

River: "Bible's broken. Contradictions, false logistics - doesn't make sense." (she's marked up the bible, crossed out passages)

Book: "No, no. You - you can't...

River: "So we'll integrate non-progressional evolution theory with God's creation of Eden. Eleven inherent metaphoric parallels already there. Eleven. Important number. Prime number. One goes into the house of eleven eleven times, but always comes out one. Noah's ark is a problem."

Book: "Really?"

River: "We'll have to call it early quantum state phenomenon. Only way to fit 5000 species of mammal on the same boat." (rips out page)

Quote
Mal: "But she does have an oddness to her. And I ain't just talking about her proficiency with firearms. Girl knows things. Things she shouldn't. Things she couldn't."

Jayne: "Wha-...are you-are you sayin' she's a witch?"

Wash: (sarcastically) "Yes, Jayne. She's a witch. She has had congress with the beast."

Jayne: "She's in Congress?"

Wash: (amazed) "How did your brain even learn human speech? I'm just so curious."

So once again I'm left with the classic Irish man's dilemma, do I eat the potato or do I let it ferment so I can drink it later?

Philosophy is questions that may never be answered. Religion is answers that may never be questioned.

If the ignorance of nature gave birth to the gods, then knowledge of nature is calculated to destroy them.

Where knowledge ends, religion begins.

Faith is the determination to remain ignorant in the face of all evidence that you are ignorant.

Whatever we cannot easily understand we call god; this saves much wear and tear on the brain tissue.

When you understand why you dismiss all the other gods, you will understand why I dismiss yours.

Religions are like fireflies .They require darkness in order to shine.

It seems to me what is called for is an exquisite balance between two con-
flicting needs: the most skeptical scrutiny of all hypotheses that are
served up to us and at the same time a great openness to new ideas. If
you are only skeptical, then no new ideas make it through to you. You
never learn anything new. You become a crotchety old person convinced
that nonsense is ruling the world. (There is, of course, much data to
support you.)
On the other hand, if you are open to the point of gullibility and
have not an ounce of sceptical sense in you, then you cannot distinguish
useful ideas from the worthless ones. If all ideas have equal validity
then you are lost, because then, it seems to me, no ideas have any valid-
ity at all.

—Carl Sagan, "The Burden of Skepticism,"
Pasadena lecture, 1987

The World is my country, all mankind are my brethren, and to do good is my religion.
Thomas Paine

Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored !- Aldous Huxley
