“Atheism is a conclusion reached by the most reasonable methods and one which is not asserted dogmatically but is explained in its every feature by the light of reason. The atheist does not boast of knowing in a vainglorious, empty sense. He understands by knowledge the most reasonable and clear and sound position one can take on the basis of all the evidence at hand. This evidence convinces him that theism is not true, and his logical position, then, is that of atheism.

We repeat that the atheist is one who denies the assumptions of theism. he asserts, in other words, that he doesn't believe in a God because he has no good reason for believing in a God. That's atheism -- and that's good sense.”
― E. Haldeman-Julius, The meaning of atheism

All unwritten stories need to be completed at some point. All
dreams that remain unfulfilled deserve to be fulfilled at some
point. All unpaid debts ought to be repaid at some point,
including the cosmic ones. More so when there are no future
generations to carry them forward.
Let it all end with me. All stories unsaid, all verses unwritten,
all dreams unfulfilled, all lives unlived.
Let all the noises die forever. Let all voids be filled
permanently. Let there be no smiles that remain hesitant
anymore”
― Rasal, I Killed the Golden Goose : A COLLECTION OF THOUGHTS, THOUGHTLESSNESS, SILENCES, POEMS & SOME ‘SHOT’ STORIES

In contrast, in the map-making type of thinking that I am advocating, we have to make the map first and then choose the route. That means that we have to have the facts and figures first.”
― Edward de Bono, Six Thinking Hats
