A new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light but rather because its opponents eventually die and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it.

When I tell the truth it is not for the sake of convincing those who do not know it but for the sake of defending those that do.

If you seek truth you will not seek victory by dishonorable means and if you find truth you will become invincible.

At a time like this scorching irony not convincing argument is needed.

I felt invincible. My strength was that of a giant. God was certainly standing by me. I smashed five saloons with rocks before I ever took a hatchet.

If I was invincible maybe I would take up some extreme sports.

Disappointment over nationalistic authoritarian regimes may have contributed to the fact that today religion offers a new and subjectively more convincing language for old political orientations.

I found it interesting that as people become more technically oriented all over the world at the same time people are becoming increasingly spiritual. The success of the Da Vinci code - even though it was a great yawn - also showed people's interest in religion.
