"I had motives for not wanting the world to have a meaning; consequently (I) assumed that it had none, and was able without any difficulty to find satisfying reasons for this assumption. The philosopher who finds no meaning in the world is not concerned exclusively with a problem in pure metaphysics, he is also concerned to prove that there is no valid reason why he personally should not do as he wants to do, or why his friends should not seize political power and govern in the way that they find most advantageous to themselves... For myself, the philosophy of meaningless was essentially an instrument of liberation, sexual and political. - Aldous Huxley, 'Ends and Means', pp. 270 ff.
"The evidence of God's existence and His gift is more than compelling, but those who insist that they have no need of Him or it will always find ways to discount the offer." - Blaise Pascal
"It is the person who disbelieves in the face of strong evidence supporting Christianity who is really intolerant and closed-minded." - Josh McDowell, 'The New Evidence that Demands a Verdict', pg. xl
