Myth is what we call other people's religion.
-Joseph Campbell
Science is the name for transformation brought in the psychology of substances
and religion is the name for the knowledge which transforms the psychology of
human beings. Science can provide material comforts to a human being, but
for mental well-being, one has to change his psychology. Hence, striking a fine
balance between the two is the only way to lead a human being and the world
onto the path of progress.
-Deep Trivedi

-Alan Watts
To hate man and love god seems to be the sum of all creeds.
