[SOCRATES]
I honor and love you, but I shall obey God rather than you. And as long as I have life and strength, I shall never cease from the practice and teaching of philosophy
Wherefore, O men of Athens, I say to you
Therefore, acquit me or not. But whichever you do
I shall never alter my ways, never adjust my approach to this maze
Never reform 'til the end of my days
Even if I have to die many times

[THOMAS AQUINAS]
God is apprehended by imagination, intuition, reason, touch, opinion, sense, and name (and so on)
But on quite the other hand, we find we can't begin to understand Him, so to some it seems a shame to go on
But He is all things in all
And He is nothing in any
He is often found in one thing small
Conversely, he is often missed in many

[GALILEO]
God endows us with sense and intellect
God endows us with reason we neglect
And despite the abolition by the current inquisition of any intuition that they don't choose
When it comes to God, I find I can't believe that he designed a human being with a mind he's not supposed to use

[HEGEL]
The rise of the state

[GIBBON]
The decline of Rome
[HEGEL, GIBBON]
Was inevitable

[GIBBON]
Rome had to fall!

[HEGEL]
The state above all! The state is as God walking on the earth

[GIBBON]
The seeds of Rome's decline were present at her birth

[HEGEL, GIBBON]
We should therefore be surprised

[HEGEL]
That man was ever individualized

[GIBBON]
That Rome remained so strong

[HEGEL]
The state will be strong

[HEGEL, GIBBON]
So long!
[L. RON HUBBARD]
Nothing is true
Unless observed by you

[SARTRE]
Atheistic existentialism, which I represent, is
More coherent, I do believe it

[MARIANNE WILLIAMSON]
The glory of God we are born to make manifest

[SARTRE]
There is no such thing as human nature
Not in all or few men
Since there is no God to conceive it

[MARIANNE WILLIAMSON]
The glory of God we are born to make manifest

So high in my lovely Iv'ry Tower of Babble
(Babble babble babble babble babble babble)
High above the rabble
(Rabble, rabble, rabble-babble, rabble babble, babble, rabble-babble)
Greatest mind of history
Solving life's sweet mysteries
So listen to me
Know how life should be
Oh, what does it matter if they don't agree
