" "[I]f the basic claims of religion are true, the scientific worldview is so blinkered and susceptible to supernatural modification as to be rendered nearly ridiculous; if the basic claims of religion are false, most people are profoundly confused about the nature of reality, confounded by irrational hopes and fears, and tending to waste precious time and attention — often with tragic results.

Additional quotes by Sam Harris
And then came the insight that irrevocably transformed my
sense of how good human life could be. I was feeling boundless love for one of my best friends, and I suddenly realized that if a
stranger had walked through the door at that moment, he or she
would have been fully included in this love. Love was at bottom
impersonal — and deeper than any personal history could justify.
Indeed, a transactional form of love — I love you because. . . — now
made no sense at all.
