1 " I feel like getting married, or committing suicide, or subscribing to L'Illustration. Something desperate, you know. "

― Albert Camus , A Happy Death

2 " Whether a belief is considered to be a delusion or not depends partly upon the intensity with which it is defended, and partly upon the numbers of people subscribing to it. "

― Anthony Storr , Feet of Clay: A Study of Gurus

3 " Being poised to shatter the adaptive illusion of God is arguably one of the most significant turning points our species has ever faced in its relatively brief 150,000-year history. The belief instinct may never be completely deprogrammed in our animal brains, but by understanding it for what it is rather than subscribing uncritically to the intuitions it generates, we can distance ourselves from an adaptive system that was designed, ultimately, to keep us hobbled in fear. "

4 " The only way to watch paid TV from the comfort of your room is
by subscribing to a paid TV service. In the same way, the only way
to change your level of financial success ‘permanently’ is to subscribe
and keep upgrading your financial mind-set. But it is your decision
whether you choose to change or not. "

― Derric Yuh Ndim

5 " I feel like getting married, or committing suicide, or subscribing to 'LIllustration. Something desperate, you know." Zagreus smiled. " You're a poor man, Mersault. That explains half of your disgust. And the other half you owe to your own submission to poverty. "

6 " Max Weber was right in subscribing to the view that one need not be Caesar in order to understand Caesar. But there is a temptation for us theoretical sociologists to act sometimes as though it is not necessary even to study Caesar in order to understand him. Yet we know that the interplay of theory and research makes both for understanding of the specific case and expansion of the general rule. "

― Robert K. Merton , Social Theory and Social Structure

7 " Religious organizations exist to foster the interests of persons subscribing to the same religious faith. Not so of for-profit corporations. Workers who sustain the operations of those corporations commonly are not drawn from one religious community. "
