Richard Dawkins Zitate

If we are too friendly to nice, decent bishops, we run the risk of buying into the fiction that there's something virtuous about believing things because of faith rather than because of evidence. We run the risk of betraying scientific enlightenment.

Deutsche Übersetzung

Wenn wir zu freundlichen, anständigen Bischöfen zu freundlich sind, laufen wir Gefahr, in die Fiktion einzukaufen, dass es etwas Tugendhaftes ist, Dinge aus Glauben zu glauben, und nicht aus Beweisen. Wir laufen Gefahr, die wissenschaftliche Aufklärung zu verraten.

If I'm desperate, I'll read anything. But even when I can be choosy, I still have no hard-and-fast rules. I have rules about what I won't read, rather than what I will. No science fiction, no romance, no chick lit. Although even these rules can be broken.

There may be a new album, and there may not. Right now, we're encouraging bootlegging because there have been some great live things that ended up on the Internet. Rather than try to stop it, we like it. If nobody gave a crap about you, they wouldn't bother to bootleg you.
