Text Quotes
I accept that there may be things far grander and more incomprehensible than we can possibly imagine  (Richard Dawkins Quotes) If ever there was a slamming of the door in the face of constructive investigation, it is the word miracle. To a medieval peasant, a radio would have seemed like a miracle  (Richard Dawkins Quotes) I didn’t have a very starry school career, I was medium to above average, nothing special  (Richard Dawkins Quotes) My decision to be a scientist was a bit of a drift really, more or less by default  (Richard Dawkins Quotes) Scientists disagree among themselves but they never fight over their disagreements. They argue about evidence or go out and seek new evidence. Much the same is true of philosophers, historians and literary critics  (Richard Dawkins Quotes) The resemblance of the signs of the zodiac to the animals after which they are named... is as unimpressive as the predictions of astrologers  (Richard Dawkins Quotes) ... when two opposite points of view are expressed with equal intensity, the truth does not necessarily lie exactly halfway between them. It is possible for one side to be simply wrong  (Richard Dawkins Quotes) Be thankful that you have a life, and forsake your vain and presumptuous desire for a second one  (Richard Dawkins Quotes) It often turns out on closer inspection that acts of apparent altruism are really selfishness in disguise  (Richard Dawkins Quotes) I am thrilled to be alive at time when humanity is pushing against the limits of understanding. Even better, we may eventually discover that there are no limits  (Richard Dawkins Quotes) The world and the universe is an extremely beautiful place, and the more we understand about it the more beautiful does it appear  (Richard Dawkins Quotes) Even those who do not, or cannot, avail themselves of a scientific education, choose to benefit from the technology that is made possible by the scientific education of others  (Richard Dawkins Quotes) Evolution could so easily be disproved if just a single fossil turned up in the wrong date order. Evolution has passed this test with flying colours  (Richard Dawkins Quotes) When I am dying, I should like my life taken out under general anaesthetic, exactly as if it were a diseased appendix  (Richard Dawkins Quotes) Evolution is not a genetically controlled distortion of one adult form into another; it is a genetically controlled alteration in a developmental program  (Richard Dawkins Quotes) Even if it were true that evolution, or the teaching of evolution, encouraged immorality that would not imply that the theory of evolution was false  (Richard Dawkins Quotes) ... there are no natural borderlines in evolution. The illusion of a borderline is created by the fact that the evolutionary intermediates happen to be extinct  (Richard Dawkins Quotes) Things exist either because they have recently come into existence or because they have qualities that made them unlikely to be destroyed in the past  (Richard Dawkins Quotes) I mean it as a compliment when I say that you could almost define a philosopher as someone who won’t take common sense for an answer  (Richard Dawkins Quotes) Indeed, organizing atheists has been compared to herding cats, because they tend to think independently and will not conform to authority  (Richard Dawkins Quotes) When you plant a fertile meme in my mind you literally parasitize my brain, turning it into a vehicle for the meme’s propagation in just the way that a virus may parasitize the genetic mechanism of a host cell  (Richard Dawkins Quotes) There are all sorts of things that would be comforting. I expect an injection of morphine would be comforting... But to say that something is comforting is not to say that it’s true  (Richard Dawkins Quotes) You can make some inferences about a man’s character if you know something about the conditions in which he has survived and prospered  (Richard Dawkins Quotes) Any altruistic system is inherently unstable, because it is open to abuse by selfish individuals, ready to exploit it  (Richard Dawkins Quotes) Religion is not the root of all evil, for no one thing is the root of all anything  (Richard Dawkins Quotes) It is all too easy to mistake passion that can change its mind for fundamentalism, which never will  (Richard Dawkins Quotes) Bad things, like good things don’t happen any more often than they ought to by chance. the universe has no mind, no feelings, and no personality, so it doesn’t do things in order to either hurt or please you. bad things happen because things happen  (Richard Dawkins Quotes) I great difficulty having any respect for a religion that has so little confidence in the truth of its beliefs that it feels reduced to using threats in order to propagate those beliefs  (Richard Dawkins Quotes) It has been convincingly demonstrated that countries where there are high rates of poverty, or high rates of economic inequality, are the countries with the highest rates of religious beliefs  (Richard Dawkins Quotes) It is a remarkable coincidence that almost everyone has the same religion as their parents and it always just so happens they’re the right religion  (Richard Dawkins Quotes)
