“To believe in luck - is skepticism”
Ralph Waldo Emerson
“The fact that a believer is happier than a skeptic is no more to the point than the fact than a drunken man is happier than a sober one”
George Bernard Shaw
“The skeptic does not mean him who doubts, but him who investigates or researches, as opposed to him who asserts and thinks that he has found”
Miguel de Unamuno
“All that belongs to human understanding, in this deep ignorance and obscurity, is to be skeptical, or at least cautious; and not to admit of any hypothesis, whatsoever; much less, of any which is supported by no appearance of probability”
David Hume
“I went into it very skeptically and I didn't come out a total believer, but it was good for a lot of people as a tribute to Diana.”
Paul Sharratt
“Skepticism is slow suicide”
“Yes, believers and non-believers and skeptics can all live together and get along. But there cannot be an imperialistic imposition of religion by the state or by the church. All people must be equal--believers, skeptics, disbelievers, atheists, and those who chose religion. Unless we are all deemed equal, and unless the morality of disbelief is deemed the equivalent of the morality of belief, we will simply be tolerated, and that is not the American way.”
Alan M. Dershowitz
