"As far as I'm concerned, the entire reason for becoming a writer is not having to get up in the morning."
"Behind every effect there is a cause. You can never eliminate an effect without first understanding its cause."
"Religion is a distraction from true education."
"The power of reason is thought small in these days, but I remain an unrepentant rationalist.

It is the inventor and mentor of all the arts, medicines, laws, and of whatever wisdom, power, virtue, and glory men possess in this life."
"Man's life, as required by his nature, is not the life of a mindless brute, of a looting thug or a mooching mystic, but the life of a thinking being-not life by means of force or fraud, but life by means of achievement-not survival at any price, since there's only one price that pays for man's survival: reason."
"Those who invalidate reason ought seriously to consider whether they argue against reason with or without reason."
