Quotations
Religion
Religion is something infinitely simple, ingenuous... In the infinite extent of the universe, it is a direction of the heart.
- Rainer Maria Rilke
If I talk about the Hindu religion, all their gods are kings and warriors (kshatriya)...
Then when and how did the reins of religion get into the hands of these pundits
and sannyasins?
- Deep Trivedi
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
The whole world is so-called religious...barring a few intellectuals. But then
where does all the anger, miseries, worries, envy, hatred and failure come from?
... Because, conquering all these feelings is only religiousness.
- Deep Trivedi
Religious people fear hell -- Spiritual people have walked through it.
- Frank Warren
There is not enough religion in the world even to destroy religion.

- Khalil Gibran
Neither the ones who have created enormous wealth under the shade of religion,
nor the ones who have relinquished wealth for religion can be called 'free from
worldly attachments'.

- Christopher Paolini
Those who are ignorant of the supreme purpose of life will never be able to attain nirvana (liberation) in spite of their observance of the vratas (vows) and niyamas (rules) of religious conduct and practice of shila (celibacy) and tapas (penance).
