Paul Erdős :
"
Aliens invade the earth and threaten to obliterate it in a year's time unless human beings can find the Ramsey number for red five and blue five. We could marshal the world's best minds and fastest computers, and within a year we could probably calculate the value. If the aliens demanded the Ramsey number for red six and blue six, however, we would have no choice but to launch a preemptive attack.

Robert Southey :
"
Would you who judge of the lawfulness or unlawfulness of pleasure, take this rule; whatever weakens your reason, impairs the tenderness of your conscience, obscures your sense of God, or takes off the relish of spiritual things; in short; whatever increases the strength and authority of your body over your mind, that is sin to you; however innocent it may be in itself.

Blaise Pascal :
"
If we let ourselves believe that man began with divine grace, that he forfeited this by sin, and that he can be redeemed only by divine grace through the crucified Christ, then we shall find peace of mind never granted to philosophers. He who cannot believe is cursed, for he reveals by his unbelief that God has not chosen to give him grace.

Robert G Ingersoll :
"
The truth is, that no one can justly be held responsible for his thoughts. The brain thinks without asking our consent. We believe, or we disbelieve, without an effort of the will. Belief is a result. It is the effect of evidence upon the mind. The scales turn in spite of him who watches. There is no opportunity of being honest or dishonest in the formation of an opinion. The conclusion is entirely independent of desire. We must believe, or we must doubt, in spite of what we wish.

Derek Abbot :
"
I personally don't let 'untestability' upset me too much, in general, provided that the untestable concept is consistent with a set of other things that are testable. Then I can choose to believe in the untestable concept on the grounds of circumstantial evidence. This choice is not for scientific purposes. It is to give me a structure for my world-view. It may indeed prove to become scientific one day when measuring instruments do things we never dreamed. So for the moment, it is an act of faith. Such acts of faith, supported by circumstantial evidence, are not irrational. Humans do it all the time for their sanity.
