Neil Degrasse Tyson
““To learn that it’s easier to be told by others what to think and believe than it is to think for yourself.” -NdT”↗
Maya Angelou
“I love the melodies in the Old Testament, how preachers highlight them when they read from the Scripture. But I was influenced forever by the New Testament. I love the Beatitudes, informing us that the meek shall inherit the earth.”↗
Jane Goodall
“I loved the poetry of the prose, and would read many of the passages aloud to myself.”↗
Penn Jillette
“If you’re considering becoming an atheist, read the Bible from cover to cover. No study guides, no spins, just read it. Sometime between when God tells Abraham to kill his son and when Jesus tells everyone to put him before their families, you’ll be an atheist.”↗
Leonard Cohen
“The Bible was not forced on me, I received it like honey, and I found all the stories equally beautiful, from the Creation to the Apocalypse.”↗
Martin Luther King Jr
“We shall overcome because the Bible is right, ‘You shall reap what you sow.'”↗
Nick Cave
“I was reading The Bible a lot through my 20s, mostly the Old Testament, just because I was knocked out by the language and the stories. I felt that the God being talked about there, who was this insane, vindictive patriarch – it was kind of thrilling, and titillated something in me at the time.”↗
Loretta Lynn
“The best book I ever got was my family Bible my husband Doo gave me in 1966. It means the world to me.”↗
Brandi Carlile
“I’m a big Bible enthusiast, both for its archival purposes and the way it affects the culture, both positively and negatively. I think there’s a ton of wisdom to be gleaned from the Bible about why people behave the way they do and why we have learned to behave the way we do over the last 2,000 years.”↗
Morgan Freeman
“It’s just an interesting read. Genesis is the best part.”↗
Sufjan Stevens
“A hot mess. Mother & Father issues ensue. Spoiler alert: Jesus dies at the end.”↗
Jon Fosse
“I cannot possibly make such a list without mentioning The Book of Books, the Bible. A couple of decades ago I was asked to write a new translation of the Bible in Norwegian. To try to get as close to the original texts as possible – often translations of the Bible translate an interpretation of the meaning rather than what is actually written – they wanted to include writers in the translation process that worked closely together with experts. For eleven years I worked on translating the prophets, so I have written through almost the whole Prophetic Literature. This must have influenced my own writing in some way, even if I don’t know it.”↗
