Frases célebres de Clarence Darrow

“El temor a Dios no es el principio de la sabiduría. El temor a Dios es la muerte de la sabiduría. El escepticismo y la duda llevan al estudio y la investigación, y la investigación es el principio de la sabiduría. El mundo moderno es el hijo de la duda y la interrogación, como el mundo antiguo fue el mundo del miedo y de la fe.”

Clarence Darrow

“Apelo a vosotros no en defensa de Thomas Kidd, sino en defensa de la larga sucesión —la larguísima sucesión que se remonta hacia atrás a través de las épocas y que se proyecta hacia adelante en los años del futuro— de los hombres despojados y oprimidos de la Tierra.
Apelo a vosotros por los hombres que se levantan antes de que amanezca y vuelven a su hogar a la noche, cuando ya ha desaparecido del cielo la luz, y dan sus vidas, sus fuerzas y su trabajo para que otros se enriquezcan y se engrandezcan. Apelo a vosotros en nombre de esas mujeres que ofrendan sus vidas al dios moderno del dinero y apelo a vosotros en nombre de sus hijos, los que viven y los que aún no han nacido.”

Voltaire (1916)

“Much of his work he did while confined to his bed. He was always an invalid, always obliged to take great care of himself, living constantly with death just before him, never idle a moment for fear his work would not be done. Probably no man ever lived who assailed the Church and the State with the same wit and keenness that was always at Voltaire's command; and yet in spite of this he managed to live comfortably, accumulate riches and die in peace.”

Speech in Toronto (1930); as quoted in "Breaking the Last Taboo" (1996) by James A. Haught
As quoted in Jesus: Myth Or Reality? (2006) by Ian Curtis
Religion is the belief in future life and in God. I don't believe in either.
As quoted in The New York Times (19 April 1936)
Variante: I believe that religion is the belief in future life and in God. I don’t believe in either. I don’t believe in God as I don’t believe in Mother Goose.

“Many Christians base the belief of a soul and God upon the Bible. Strictly speaking, there is no such book. To make the Bible, sixty-six books are bound into one volume. These books are written by many people at different times, and no one knows the time or the identity of any author. Some of the books were written by several authors at various times. These books contain all sorts of contradictory concepts of life and morals and the origin of things. Between the first and the last nearly a thousand years intervened, a longer time than has passed since the discovery of America by Columbus.”
