ClearThinking quotes can be used in a variety of ways ranging from conversations with others (from atheists to theists), papers, books, sermons, speeches, instructional lessons and research. While we do our best to confirm the primary sources for as many quotes as possible, we encourage anyone that is using these quotes for formal purposes (book, research paper, etc.) to thoroughly confirm the quote’s primary source. We add Amazon links for the majority of the quotes that come from books to make it easy to order the book if you choose.

Many of you read in the area of the intersection of science/faith/reason are realizing you have some good quotes highlighted in those books or even keep track of some good relevant quotes by writing them down or in electronic form.

We certainly welcome those who are authorities on any of the topics to contribute any quotes that they believe align with the types of quotes that we have at the intersection of science/faith/reason. Reading many quotes from the ClearThinking quote database first will give you the best feel for what types of quotes we include. All suggested quotes are carefully screened and a large variety of criteria are used to determine whether a particular quote meets the standard we are looking for in order to be included. If you write in these areas or know someone who does, this can be a good way to make your best, most on-target quotes known to others. We suggest you submit a few of your best at first in order to see whether they get accepted and to get a better feel for what types of quotes meet our criteria. This may help you better decide whether additional quote submissions would be likely to be accepted. We are more than willing to represent your material (if it fits with the criteria) and increase the public's awareness of you and your book/article/podcast/etc that the quote comes from. Please understand that there are a large number of quote suggestions that don't meet our criteria and we don't always have the resources to go into detail about the combination of reasons we accept/decline suggested quotes.
