One way or another, all humans are superstitious.

About This Quote

In a world where we’ve been told that science is the only true way of knowing, it’s important to remember how much of what we believe is based on faith and superstition. In the same way, people make up their own rules for keeping things going. For instance, many Americans leave a penny in the car to protect against a car or home break-in. Another example: a woman who was worried about being attacked by a stranger once made up a rhyme to keep her safe. “I tell my heart not to beat too fast/I tell my heart not to beat too slow/So if I ever get killed I won’t be alone,” she said as she repeated the rhyme from memory.
