Not Worth Stressing Quotes & Sayings

Certainly I see the scientific view of the world as incompatible with religion, but that is not what is interesting about it. It is also incompatible with magic, but that also is not worth stressing.

The root of our self-esteem is not our achievements but those internally generated practices that, among other things, make it possible for us to achieve. — Nathaniel Branden
