Quotations
Religion
The biggest problem of the world is the existence of the 50 million odd priests,
monks and the heads of various religious institutions, who in the pretext of being
religious, survive at others' mercy without doing anything fruitful themselves.
If they are compelled to do even farming, I promise that overnight the rate of
grains all across the world will almost be halved.
-Deep Trivedi

-Deep Trivedi

Christ? The doctors of our mind and life.
-Deep Trivedi
The world is divided into men who have wit and no religion and men who have religion and no wit.
