• Fanaticism is such a blind stuff that it can never give you any idea as to what is reality. Because whatever you believe into, you build up your own ideas and everything onto it and it's like a fake palace built on a fake idea. And then you go on fighting. If God is one, if His love is one, then how can people who believe in God fight?

• Sin embargo, no tenía ni idea de que en Pensilvania, la cuna de la tolerancia y la libertad de religión, [el fanatismo] pudiera haber llegado a la altura que usted describe. Esto debe deberse al crecimiento del presbiterianismo. La blasfemia de los cinco puntos de Calvino y la imposibilidad de defenderlos hacen que sus defensores se impacienten por razonar, se irriten y sean propensos a la denuncia.

• Toda pasión aislada es, aisladamente, una locura; la cordura puede definirse como síntesis de locuras. Toda pasión dominante genera un miedo dominante, el miedo a su no realización. Todo miedo dominante genera una pesadilla, a veces en forma de fanatismo explícito y consciente, a veces en una timidez paralizante, a veces en un terror inconsciente o subconsciente que sólo encuentra expresión en los sueños. El hombre que desee preservar la cordura en un mundo peligroso debe convocar en su propia mente un parlamento de miedos, en el que cada uno de ellos, a su vez, sea votado como absurdo por todos los demás.

  Bertrand Russell

• What chiefly concerns and alarms many of us are the problems arising from religious fanaticism. As long as large numbers of militant enthusiasts are persuaded that they alone have access to the truth, and that the rest of us are infidels, we remain under threat. Lord Acton's famous phrase about power can be used of another danger. Dogma tends to corrupt, and absolute dogma corrupts absolutely.

• En nuestras instituciones, la única forma de perfeccionar el Gobierno es perfeccionar al ciudadano individual. Es necesario llegar a la mente y al alma del individuo. No conozco otra forma de hacerlo que a través de la influencia de la religión y la educación. Por religión no quiero decir fanatismo o intolerancia; por educación no quiero decir la cantinela de las escuelas, sino una fe amplia y tolerante, amar al prójimo como a uno mismo, y una formación y experiencia que permitan a la mente humana ver el corazón de las cosas.

  Calvin Coolidge

• Flaubert spoke true: to succeed a great artist must have both character and fanaticism and few in this country are willing to pay the price. Our writers have either no personality and therefore no style or a false personality and therefore a bad style; they mistake prejudice for energy and accept the sensation of material well-being as a system of thought.
