“...you can't let something that'll probably never happen ruin your life. You're only helping to make it a self-fulfilling prophecy”

The Last Templar
“...maybe we don't need a heavenly bribe or the fear of hell and damnation to make us behave decently. Maybe it would be healthier if people started believing in themselves instead.” ― Raymond Khoury, The Last Templar
“Greed and selfishness do seem to be central motivators of mankind.” ― Raymond Khoury, The Sanctuary

“They don’t understand that religion and science are there to serve different purposes. We need science to understand how everything on this planet and beyond works – us, nature, everything we see around us. That’s fact – no one with a working brain can question that. But we also need religion. Not for ridiculous counter-theories about things that science can prove. We need it for something else, to fill a different kind of need. The need for meaning. It’s a basic need we have, as humans. And it’s a need that’s beyond the realm of science. Your scientists don’t understand that it’s a need they can’t fulfill no matter how many Hadron colliders and Hubble telescopes they build- and your preachers don’[t understand that their job is to help you discover a personal, inner sense of meaning and not behave like a bunch of zealots intent on converting the rest of the planet to their rigid, literalist view of how everyone should live their lives.” ― Raymond Khoury, The Sign
“We're still dancing to tunes created by men who thought that a thunderstorm was a sig of God's anger.” ― Raymond Khoury, The Last Templar
“It’s amazing, isn’t it? Here we are, two thousand years later, with everything we’ve accomplished, everything we know, and yet this little talisman still rules the way billions of people live…and die.” ― Raymond Khoury, The Last Templar
“They bragged about democracy and demonized countries that didn’t have it, but they didn’t really believe in democracy. They believed in hypocrisy. Their moral compass had spun out of control, from the very top down.” ― Raymond Khoury, Empire of Lies
“The Bible tells us the messiah will only return AFTER we've had the final battle between God's children and the army of the antichrist out there in Israel. It's only after that happens that we can be saved by the Rapture . . . we're still waiting for the Israelis to bomb the crap out of Iran and kick-start the whole thing.” ― Raymond Khoury, The Sign
“A soldier's job is to put his life on the line for his country.” ― Raymond Khoury, The Sign
“religion has always been the fuel that keeps the furnaces of intolerance and hatred burning.” ― Raymond Khoury, The Last Templar
“Cô không biết chính xác nó ở đâu và cách duy nhất để tìm ra nó là cô phải ở đó” ― Raymond Khoury
“Làm cái ghề như tôi thì khó có vợ lắm" "Chà, hẳn rồi, nếu cái nghề đó cho phép anh nhảy lên máy bay với các cô gái chỉ mới quen biết. Tôi cũng hẳn chẳng muốn chồng mình làm điều đó hằng ngày” ― Raymond Khoury, The Last Templar
“Thôi thì mặc kệ, cứ để xem cô ta có thông minh như cô ta nghĩ không” ― Raymond Khoury
“Bế quan tỏa cảng với thế giới còn lại” ― Raymond Khoury, The Last Templar
“Ai trong chúng ta thực sự biết điều gì sẽ xảy ra với mình? Anh chỉ cần sống cuộc sống của mình và hi vọng vào những điều tốt đẹp nhất” ― Raymond Khoury, The Last Templar
