Previous Quote
"There's been some research in cognitive science, I'm told, that discloses that there have always been perhaps 10 to 15 percent of people who are, as Pascal puts it, so made that they cannot believe. To us, when people talk about faith, it's white noise."
Next Quote
"Trust is not the same as faith. A friend is someone you trust. Putting faith in anyone is a mistake."
