"There can be no truce between science and religion"

"Music is my religion"

"Democracy is the art and science of running the circus from the monkey cage"

"No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin, or his background, or his religion. People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite"

"Religion is one dimension of culture, a transcendent element of it"

"Art is exalted above religion and race. Not a single solitary soul these days believes in the religions of the Assyrians, the Egyptians and the Greeks... Only their art, whenever it was beautiful, stands proud and exalted, rising above all time"

"When it is a question of money, everybody is of the same religion"

"Art has a double face, of expression and illusion, just like science has a double face: the reality of error and the phantom of truth"

"Science never solves a problem without creating ten more"

"I like the religion that teaches liberty, equality and fraternity"

"I think philosophers can do things akin to theoretical scientists, in that, having read about empirical data, they too can think of what hypotheses and theories might account for that data. So there's a continuity between philosophy and science in that way"
