"A fanatic is a man who consciously over compensates a secret doubt."

"Doubt begins only at the last frontiers of what is possible."

"Doubt is the first ray of illumination."

"I felt like praying or something, when I was in bed, but I couldn't do it. I can't always pray when I feel like it. In the first place, I'm sort of an atheist. I like Jesus and all, but I don't care too much for most of the other stuff in the Bible. Take the Disciples, for instance. They annoy the hell out of me, if you want to know the truth.
