Dietrich Bonhoeffer · Buy on Amazon
"I hope I would not be so arrogant as to doubt anyone’s religion or belief. If Dietrich Bonhoeffer…sacrificed his life in a Nazi concentration camp for his church, then who am I to refute anything?"
Jacob Bronowski · Buy on Amazon
"Bronowski said, ‘If we…try to reduce the human being to a number, we create an Auschwitz.’ In his book he’s actually standing in Auschwitz where he lost many members of his family where he said, ‘Because of certainty. Certainty is the killer."
Albert Einstein · Buy on Amazon
"Einstein believed in a non-personal God; believed in a mathematical intelligence in the back of the Cosmos…[He] was uncertain. He knew nothing. Yet he was probably one of the smartest geniuses of our time."
Graham Greene · Buy on Amazon
"A wonderful book by Graham Greene, who is a powerful Catholic."
Christopher Hitchens · Buy on Amazon
"A brilliant atheist, a brilliant man."
Plato · Buy on Amazon
