Quote by Penn Jillette (b. 1955)

• God works in mysterious, inefficient, and breathtakingly cruel ways.

• I don't travel in circles where people say, 'I have faith, I believe this in my heart and nothing you can say or do can shake my faith.' That's just a long-winded religious way to say, 'Shut up.'

• Channeling is just bad ventriloquism. You use another voice, but people can see your lips moving.

• Technology adds nothing to art. Two thousand years ago, I could tell you a story, and at any point during the story I could stop, and ask, Now do you want the hero to be kidnapped, or not? But that would, of course, have ruined the story. Part of the experience of being entertained is sitting back and plugging into someone else's vision.

• My favorite thing about the Internet is that you get to go into the private world of real creeps without having to smell them.
