The memory of my own suffering has prevented me from ever shadowing one young soul with the superstition of the Christian religion.

Who's to say that there is any more support for Freud's psychoanalytic concept of the superego than there is for that old time religion that asserted that there is a God who ordains what is right and wrong and that His righteousness endures for all generations?

To become a popular religion it is only necessary for a superstition to enslave a philosophy.

The major obstacle to a religious renewal is the intellectual classes who are highly influential and tend to view religion as primitive superstition. They believe that science has left atheism as the only respectable intellectual stance.

I don't have a religion. I believe in a God. I don't know what it looks like but it's MY god. My own interpretation of the supernatural.

Superstition is the only religion of which base souls are capable of.

The biological evolutionary perception of life and of human qualities is radically different from that of traditional religion whether it's Southern Baptist or Islam or any religion that believes in a supernatural supervalance over humanity.

Superstition is the religion of feeble minds.

Superstition is to religion what astrology is to astronomy the mad daughter of a wise mother. These daughters have too long dominated the earth.

My religion consists of a humble admiration of the illimitable superior spirit who reveals himself in the slight details we are able to perceive with our frail and feeble mind.

Science can purify religion from error and superstition. Religion can purify science from idolatry and false absolutes.

It's something that was very interesting to me to be a part of and all of them again because of the relationship. Some of the superhero movies are better than others.

Playing a character who's dealing not only with a superpower but having a normal relationship is easy to associate with because I feel that everyone has been through it.

My parents are artists in their world in the world of modern artists you are supposed to just go into your studio and tune everything out and your entire relationship with your work is supposed to be a super private one. That was the way to do it and you weren't deeply truly artistic if that wasn't the way you were engaging the press.

The superior power of population cannot be checked without producing misery or vice.

The super power that I would choose would be compassion. Because that's what I think it takes to make it through life-an understanding a give and take. It saves an awful lot of resentment.

But the power of instruction is seldom of much efficacy except in those happy dispositions where it is almost superfluous.

What makes Superman a hero is not that he has power but that he has the wisdom and the maturity to use the power wisely. From an acting point of view that's how I approached the part.

I don't think I've ever been an agnostic. I've always thought there's a superior power that this is not the real world and that there's a world to come.

I really believe that's one of the many reasons that God had put me right in the middle of the Backstreet Boys. There are so many stars today that don't realize the impact they have on young people. Being a superstar is great as long as you can be a positive role model.

I look to longevity. I just consider myself an actress and getting good roles. If being a 'superstar' gets me good roles then that's a positive thing. But my goal isn't just to be a superstar. It's to act for a long time.

I was so lucky to walk away with two Super Bowls and know that the last year was positive.

I never let my politics supersede my manners.

The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral philosophy that is the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness.
