“Forgive them, you might say, for they know not what they do. But there comes a moment in history when ignorance is no longer a forgivable offense, a moment when only wisdom has the power to absolve.”
Dan Brown“Remember death. Even for those who wield great power, life is brief. There is only one way to triumph over death, and that is by making our lives masterpieces. We must seize every opportunity to show kindness and to love fully.”
Dan Brown, Origin“Nothing captures human interest more than human tragedy.”
Dan Brown, Angels & Demons“The more man learned, the more he realized he did not know.”
Dan Brown, The Lost Symbol“The laws of physics is the canvas God laid down on which to paint his masterpiece”
Dan Brown, Angels & Demons“Since the beginning of time, spirituality and religion have been called to fill in the gaps that science did not understand.”
Dan Brown, Angels & Demons“When a question has no correct answer, there is only one honest response.The gray area between yes and no.Silence.”
Dan Brown, The Da Vinci Code“Every faith in the world is based on fabrication. That is the definition of faith―acceptance of that which we imagine to be true, that which we cannot prove. Every religion describes God through metaphor, allegory, and exaggeration, from the early Egyptians through modern Sunday school. Metaphors are a way to help our minds process the unprocessible. The problems arise when we begin to believe literally in our own metaphors.Should we wave a flag and tell the Buddhists that we have proof the Buddha did not come from a lotus blossom? Or that Jesus was not born of a literal virgin birth? Those who truly understand their faiths understand the stories are metaphorical.”
Dan Brown, The Da Vinci Code“That is the definition of faith - acceptance of that which we imagine to be true, that which we cannot prove.”
Dan Brown“Faith is a continuum, and we each fall on that line where we may. By attempting to rigidly classify ethereal concepts like faith, we end up debating semantics to the point where we entirely miss the obvious - that is, that we are all trying to decipher life's big mysteries, and we're each following our own paths of enlightenment.”
