Synopses & Reviews
Like all people, atheists contemplate issues of love, death, and morality, and in times of stress we long for solace and inspiration. A collection of uplifting quotations from some of mankinds most important philosophers, scientists, writers, and even comedians, THE INSPIRATIONAL ATHEIST will be a treasured daily companion for the growing demographic of humanists who believe that life has meaning when we live it meaningfully, independent of the existence of a higher power. With words from Carl Sagan, D. H. Lawrence, Julia Child, Douglas Adams, Charlotte Bronte, Bertrand Russell, Ralph Waldo Emerson, George Carlin, Joan Didion, Alfred Lord Tennyson, Thomas Jefferson and dozens of others on topics ranging from Love and Nature to Wisdom and Beauty, this book is a celebration of the sublime without the divine.
Synopsis
Chicken Soup for the Soul-less
More and more Americansespecially those under the age of thirtyconsider themselves atheists. But being an atheist doesnt mean being indifferent to lifes big questions. Like all people atheists contemplate issues of love, death, and morality, and in times of stress they long for solace and inspiration. Yet, no collection currently available speaks specifically to readers looking for words of wisdom outside of religion. Elegant and beautifully packaged, The Inspirational Atheist fills that gap with uplifting quotes from artists, poets, philosophers, and other great thinkers whose wisdom will touch nonbelievers and believers alike.
