To be a naturalist is better than to be a king.

Science is the global civilization of which I am a citizen. The spread of its democratic ethic and its unifying powers provides my faith in humanity. The astonishing depths of wonders in the universe, continuously revealed by science is my temple. The capacity of the informed human mind, liberated at last by the understanding that we are alone and thus the sole stewards of earth, is my religion. The potential of humanity to turn this planet into a paradise for future generations is my afterlife.

My religion is nature. That’s what arouses those feelings of wonder and mysticism and gratitude in me.

Better a witty fool than a foolish wit.

Stephen King writes a lot of things that are really charming and quirky, and that are more ironic than horror.

The king never dies.
