John Lennon:I believe in everything until it's disproved. So I believe in fairies, the myths, dragons. It all exists, even if it's in your mind. Who's to say that dreams and nightmares aren't as real as the here and now?
Me: I don't have to believe in god and I don't have to not believe in god. Either way, I'll die and if I rot, it's not
like I can be disappointed, and if I get to heaven, it's not like i lost.
