Quotations
Religion
Truth, in matters of religion, is simply the opinion that has survived.
-Oscar Wilde
It does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are 20 gods, or no god. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg.
-Thomas Jefferson
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
I hate organized religion. I hate that people use it to justify their crappy, bigoted beliefs.
-Hannah Harrington
"Saving June"
Religion in fact is not knowledge, but a faith and aspiration.
-Sri Aurobindo
If I had to choose a religion, the sun as the universal giver of life would be my god.
-Napoleon Bonaparte
Irrevocable commitment to any religion is not only intellectual suicide; it is positive Unfaith because it closes the mind to any new vision of the world. Faith is, above all, openness — an act of trust in the unknown.
-Alan Watts
To hate man and love god seems to be the sum of all creeds.
-Robert G. Ingersoll
