Derren Victor Brown

No sooner do we depart from sense and instinct to follow reason but we are insensibly drawn into uncouth paradoxes, difficulties, and inconsistencies, which multiply and grow upon us as we advance in speculation; till at length, having wandered through many intricate mazes, we find ourselves just where we were, or, which is worse, sit down in a forlorn scepticism

Oscar Wilde

I hope this generation will be the last to live under the scourge of religious anxiety.

Ingmar Bergman
