Quotations
Religion
They say religion is about love, but you wonder how much of it really is about fear.
- Deb Caletti
This is my simple religion. There is no need for temples; no need for complicated philosophy. Our own brain, our own heart is our temple; the philosophy is kindness.
- Dalai Lama
We have just enough religion to make us hate, but not enough to make us love.
- David Mitchell
Those who are ignorant of the supreme purpose of life will never be able to attain nirvana (liberation) in spite of their observance of the vratas (vows) and niyamas (rules) of religious conduct and practice of shila (celibacy) and tapas (penance).
- Scriptures
A priest once quoted to me the Roman saying that a religion is dead when the priests laugh at each other across the altar. I always laugh at the altar, be it Christian, Hindu, or Buddhist, because real religion is the transformation of anxiety into laughter.
- Alan Wilson Watts
In religion and politics people’s beliefs and convictions are in almost every case gotten at second-hand
- Mark Twain
I am a religious person, although I am not a believer.
- Philip Pullman
Religious people fear hell -- Spiritual people have walked through it.
- Frank Warren
A religious person knows how to embrace things in a right manner; an irreligious
person simply renounces things out of "fear".
- Deep Trivedi
The religious scriptures are thousands of years old. Don't know since when
they have been engaged in the upliftment of mankind. But still, considering the
enormity of the pains and problems of human beings, they have been proved
miserable failures. Now, it is high time...that new ways of thinking be adopted.
- Deep Trivedi
