  10. And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music.<\/q>
    \nFriedrich Nietzsche<\/li>\n
  11. Selfishness is not living as one wishes to live. It is asking others to live as one wishes to live.<\/q>Oscar Wilde<\/li>\n
  12. \u2018Faith\u2019 means not wanting to know what is true.<\/q>

    \nRichard Dawkins<\/li>\n
