in understanding all the other truths of life. This is the reason why the world is full
of mentally and intelligently blind people.

Quotations
Religion
We are so interested in religion that first we put the person who has come to
awaken us to sleep. Then making him God, we establish such a religion around
him that we don't face any obstacle in perpetrating the violence, jealousy, partiality,
lies, cheating, fraud or pretence as we desire; and simultaneously adhering to
few hypocrisies, also remain proud of being religious.
-Deep Trivedi
Religion isn't the cause of wars, it's the excuse.
-Jasper Fforde
