Rabbits, like most wild animals, suffer hardship. View quote
Richard Adams

God bless America - what other civilization would give Patrick Dempsey another shot to rule as a sex symbol, twenty years after 'Meatballs III: Summer Job?'

The bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead is the crowning proof of Christianity. If the resurrection did not take place, then Christianity is a false religion. If it did take place, then Christ is God and the Christian faith is absolute truth. View quote
Henry M. Morris
For adult man with his mechanized methods of solution, proof is sometimes needed, as here, that an action was a real achievement, not something self-evident; that the breaking off a branch from a whole tree, for instance, is an achievement over and above the simple use of a stick, is shown at once by animals les. (Wolfgang Köhler)
A god or revelation capable of proof or rational verification by an autonomous man would be worthless. View quote

Ibn Hazm
Ask questions stubbornly, very proud men who seeing themselves right without knowing anything about the matter. This shows lack of piety, a tendency to ranting, a weak mind, and excessive vanity. [...] If you hear, or read writing (you object to), do not react with violence until you have proof that what is expressed is wrong. Do not accept that with the enthusiasm of the credulous man either until being wholly convinced of that. In both situations you blind yourself and drift away from truth... Act like a person who has no preconceived views, one ready to know and accept what is right and reject what is wrong. (Ibn Hazm)
If you attended (a study session) strictly adopt three attitudes; there is no fourth. First: You can lock yourself in the silence of ignorance. Second: If you do not behave as such, ask for the questions a man seeking to learn asks.... This man will ask only about what he does not know, not about what he knows. Asking about matters one knows is making proof of ineptitude; this is only ranting, waste of time for everyone.... If the person you are questioning does not give satisfactory answers, stop questioning... Third: You can answer like a scientist, refuting clearly the other's arguments. If you are not capable of that, do not insist....”. View quote
Ibn Hazm

Nilus: It was given to me by Sukhotin, who secured it from our Okhrana' in Paris...beyond that I cannot tell you! Palace official 2: Yes indeed. ...This will be of great interest to the tsar. Nilus: The sanctity of our monarchy is the will of God...Christians must defend it! Palace official 2: Get him out of here! View quote

Today we face a problem that involves two difficult to satisfy conditions. On the one hand we have to find a way for computer assisted verification of mathematical proofs. This is necessary, first of all, because we have to stop the dissolution of the concept of proof in mathematics. On the other hand, we have to preserve the intimate connection between mathematics and the world of human intuition. This connection is what moves mathematics forward and what we often experience as the beauty of mathematics. View quote
Vladimir Voevodsky
If the people of this religion [Islam] are asked about the proof for the soundness of their religion, they flare up, get angry and spill the blood of whoever confronts them with this question. They forbid rational speculation, and strive to kill their adversaries. This is why truth became thoroughly silenced and concealed. View quote
