Such faith , I suppose, is the kind that moves mountains. Aldo Leopold

dog atheist fear
You never see animals going through the absurd and often horrible fooleries of magic and religion. . . .

It is the price he has to pay for being intelligent but not, as yet, quite intelligent enough. Aldous Huxley
