Today is not yesterday: we ourselves change; how can our Works and Thoughts, if they are always to be the fittest, continue always the same?

The enemy of humanism is not faith. The enemy of humanism is hate, is fear, is ignorance, is the darker part of man—that is in every humanist, every person in the world. That is the thing we have to fight. Faith, is something we have to embrace. Faith in god means believing, absolutely, in something with no proof whatsoever. Faith in humanity means believing, absolutely, in something with a huge amount of proof to the contrary. We are the true believers.
— Joss Whedon
