I'd like to meet:

“A man's ethical behavior should be based effectually on sympathy, education, and social ties and needs; no religious basis is necessary. Man would indeed be in a poor way if he had to be restrained by fear of punishment and hope of reward after death.”
Albert Einstein

“A question that sometimes drives me hazy: am I or are the others crazy?”
Albert Einstein

“Any man who can drive safely while kissing a pretty girl is simply not giving the kiss the attention it deserves.”
Albert Einstein

“Everything that can be counted does not necessarily count; everything that counts cannot necessarily be counted.”
Albert Einstein

“I cannot imagine a God who rewards and punishes the objects of his creation and is but a reflection of human frailty.”
Albert Einstein

“If A equals success, then the formula is: A = X + Y + Z, X is work. Y is play. Z is keep your mouth shut.”
Albert Einstein

“Logic will get you from A to B. Imagination will take you everywhere.”
Albert Einstein

“When a man sits with a pretty girl for an hour, it seems like a minute. But let him sit on a hot stove for a minute-and it's longer than any hour. That's relativity.”
Albert Einstein

“Faith is taking the first step even when you don't see the whole staircase.”
Martin Luther King, Jr.

“Start every day off with a smile and get it over with.”
W. C. Fields

“My psychiatrist told me I was crazy and I said I want a second opinion. He said okay, you're ugly too.”
Rodney Dangerfield

“Even if there is only one possible unified theory, it is just a set of rules and equations. What is it that breathes fire into the equations and makes a universe for them to describe? ”
Stephen Hawking

“The usual approach of science of constructing a mathematical model cannot answer the questions of why there should be a universe for the model to describe. Why does the universe go to all the bother of existing?”
Stephen Hawking

“There must be no barriers for freedom of inquiry. There is no place for dogma in science. The scientist is free, and must be free to ask any question, to doubt any asssertion, to seek for any evidence, to correct any errors.”
J. Robert Oppenheimer

“You ask: what is the meaning or purpose of life? I can only answer with another question: do you think we are wise enough to read God's mind?”

Annie Dillard

“I contend that we are both atheists. I just believe in one fewer god than you do. When you understand why you dismiss all the other possible gods, you will understand why I dismiss yours.”
Stephen Roberts

“I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with sense, reason, and intellect has intended us to forgo their use.”
Galileo Galilei

“No man ever believes that the Bible means what it says: He is always convinced that it says what he means.”
George Bernard Shaw

“The biblical account of Noah's Ark and the Flood is perhaps the most implausible story for fundamentalists to defend. Where, for example, while loading his ark, did Noah find penguins and polar bears in Palestine?”
Judith Hayes

“If at first you don't succeed, try, try again. Then quit. There's no point in being a damn fool about it.”
W. C. Fields

“It ain't what they call you, it's what you answer to.”
W. C. Fields

“Remember, a dead fish can float downstream, but it takes a live one to swim upstream.”
W. C. Fields

“An eye for eye only ends up making the whole world blind.”
Mohandas Gandhi

“Everyone has faith in God though everyone does not know it. For everyone has faith in himself and that multiplied to the nth degree is God. The sum total of all that lives is God. We may not be God, but we are of God, even as a little drop of water is of the ocean.”
Mohandas Gandhi
