God and reason
Two interesting quotes from Christopher Hitchens’ “God is not Great”:
- In response to Napoleon asking of the absence of God in his orrery (a working model of the solar system as seen from the outside), Laplace replies:
“Je n’ai pas besoin de cette hypothèse” (I do not need that hypothesis)
- Francisco Goya:
“El seuño de la razón produce monstruos” (The sleep of reason brings forth monsters)
