Quotations
Religion
I’ll wear two swords, a sword of shakti (power) and a sword of bhakti (meditation).
- A Spiritual Leader
Do you become spiritual by performing ceremonies and rituals…? Ceremonies and rituals sometimes give a certain sensation, so-called uplift. But they are repetitious, and every sensation that is repeated soon wearies of itself.
- J. Krishnamurti
The minute you get a religion you stop thinking. Believe in one thing too much and you have no room for new ideas.
- Ray Bradbury
The word Christianity is already a misunderstanding - in reality there has been only one Christian, and he died on the Cross.
- Friedrich Nietzsche
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
I am a religious person, although I am not a believer.
- Philip Pullman
We have just enough religion to make us hate, but not enough to make us love.
- David Mitchell
A prophet is not someone with special visions, just someone blind to most of what others see.
- Nassim Nicholas Taleb
Many good sayings are to be found in holy books but merely reading them will not make one religious. One must practice the virtues taught in such books in order to acquire love of God.
- Ramakrishna Paramahamsa
Perhaps not one religion contains all of the truth of the world. Perhaps every religion contains fragments of the truth, and it is our responsibility to identify those fragments and piece them together.
- Christopher Paolini
