I can understand why Christians call us heretics. But most important, who will God call a heretic? From God`s point of view, my revelation is deeply orthodox.
- Sun Myung MoonA heretic is a man who sees with his own eyes.
- Alex ThompsonTo try to fashion something from suffering, to relish our triumphs, and to endure defeats without resentment: all that is compatible with the faith of a heretic.
- Andrew KrcikA virtuous heretic shall be saved before a wicked Christian
- Benjamin FranklinIs the nature of men such, that they can reject miracle, and at the great moments of their life, the moments of their deepest, most agonising spiritual difficulties, cling only to the free verdict of the heart? Oh, Thou didst know that Thy deed would be recorded in books, would be handed down to remote times and the utmost ends of the earth, and Thou didst hope that man, following Thee, would cling to God and not ask for a miracle. But Thou didst not know that when man rejects miracle he rejects God too; for man seeks not so much God as the miraculous. And as man cannot bear to be without the miraculous, he will create new miracles of his own for himself, and will worship deeds of sorcery and witchcraft, though he might be a hundred times over a rebel, heretic and infidel.
- Fyodor Dostoevsky
