“Reason is the power or capacity whereby we see or detect logical relationships among propositions.”

“We are not ourselves. They are us. Every breath, every thought, every heartbeat is shaped by the invisible architects who have ruled since the birth of the cosmos.”

“A cult is a religion with no political power.”
