More From Fyodor Dostoevsky

The function of the rebel is to shake the fixated mores of the rigid order of civilization; and this shaking, though painful, is necessary if the society is to be saved from boredom and apathy. obviously i do not refer to everyone who calls himself a rebel, but only to the authentic rebel. civilization gets its first flower from the rebel.

I am an atheist. there, i said it. are you happy, all you atheists out there who have remonstrated with me for adopting the agnostic moniker? if "atheist" means someone who does not believe in god, then an atheist is what i am. but i detest all such labels. call me what you like - humanist, secular humanist, agnostic, nonbeliever, nontheist, freethinker, heretic, or even bright. i prefer skeptic.

[y]ou weren't born with a talent for witchcraft: it didn't come easily; you worked hard at it because you wanted it. you forced the world to give it to you, no matter the price, and the price is and always will be high... people say you don't find witchcraft; witchcraft finds you. but you've found it, even if at the time you didn't know what it was you were finding, and you grabbed it by its scrawny neck and made it work for you.
