1 " History is what we write, not what we remember. Why should we tarnish the memory of our planet by enshrining our less then noble deeds? "
― Alastair Reynolds , Thousandth Night / Minla's Flowers
2 " The argument that personal moral views should not be imposed on others when it comes to lawmaking is incoherent and misleading. It is incoherent because a great deal of law implicitly " imposes" a particular moral view on the wider society. It would be disingenuous to pretend that the legalization of abortion on demand or euthanasia does not impose a certain moral view on the rest of society. This is especially true when arguments for abortion and euthanasia are based on rights. The appeal to rights is a moral argument, and it is this appeal to moral authority that gives force to laws enshrining rights. "
3 " When you have succeeded in enshrining God within your heart you will see Him everywhere. "
