Quotes from persons born on this date
Vladimir Pozner Jr. (1934)
"As it is known, I am an atheist. I stridently believe there is no God. It's not that I run around shouting, 'There isn't, there isn't' from morning to evening, but I do not hide my convictions."
—Pozner interview with Radio Free Europe (May 16, 2017)
Abraham Maslow (1908)
"We need not take refuge in supernatural gods to explain our saints and sages and heroes and statesmen, as if to explain our disbelief that mere unaided human beings could be that good or wise."
—Description of Maslow's views by Richard J. Lowery, "A H. Maslow: An Intellectual Portrait" (1973)
Milan Kundera (1929)
"I was never a believer, but after seeing Czech Catholics persecuted during the Stalinist terror, I felt the deepest solidarity with them. What separated us, the belief in God, was secondary to what united us. In Prague, they hanged the Socialists and the priests. Thus a fraternity of the hanged was born.”
