because what I already believe they somehow manage to put into words
"Argue with anything else, but don't argue with your own nature." - Pullman
" "I thought physics could be done to the glory of God, till I saw there wasn’t any God at all and that physics was more interesting anyway. The Christian religion is a very powerful and convincing mistake, that’s all." -Pullman
“There are two great powers”. and they’ve been fighting since time began. Every advance in human life, every scrap of knowledge and wisdom and decency we have has been torn by one side from the teeth of the other. Every little increase in human freedom has been fought over ferociously between those who want us to know more and be wiser and stronger, and those who want us to obey and be humble and submit.”-Pullman (church and science, yo!)
"When you look at organized religion of whatever sort – whether it's Christianity in all its variants, or whether it's Islam or some forms of extreme Hinduism – wherever you see organized religion and priesthoods and power, you see cruelty and tyranny and repression. It's almost a universal law.” -Pullman
"We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful what we pretend to be." -Vonnegut
"Everyone in the world was programmed by the place they were born, hemmed in by their beliefs, but you had to at least try to grow your own brain" -Westerfeld
"Freedom has a way of destroying things." -Westerfeld
"Give the people contests they win by remembering the words to more popular songs or the names of state capitals or how much corn Iowa grew last year. Cram them full of noncombustible data, chock them so damned full of 'facts' they feel stuffed, but absolutely 'brilliant' with information. Then they'll feel they're thinking, they'll get a sense of motion without moving. And they'll be happy, because facts of that sort don't change. Don't give them any slippery stuff like philosophy or sociology to tie things up with. That way lies melancholy." -Bradbury

And..James Joyce says the same thing:
"He saw the heads of his classmates meekly bent as they wrote in their notebooks the points they were bidden to note, nominal definitions, essential definitions and examples or dates of birth or death, chief works, a favourable and an unfavourable criticism side by side. His own head was unbent for his thoughts wandered abroad and whether he looked around the little class of students or out of the window across the desolate gardens of the green an odour assailed him of cheerless cellar-damp and decay." -James Joyce
"That's the good part of dying; when you've nothing to lose, you run any risk you want." -Bradbury
"'My dear fellow, who will let you?' 'That's not the point, the point is, who will stop me?'" -Rand
"A moderately gifted person who would have been a community treasure a thousand years ago has to give up, has to go into some other line of work, since modern communications put him or her into daily competition with nothing but world's champions." - Vonnegut
"Too late, the surviving inhabitants of such a nation would crawl from ruins of their own creation and realize that throughout all their self-imposed agony, there had been absolutely no one at the top who had understood how things really worked, what it was all about, what was really going on." -Vonnegut
