Quotations
Religion
Whether we like it or not, the one justification for the existence of all religions is death, they need death as much as we need bread to eat.
- José Saramago
You look at it, but it is not to be seen; Its name is Formless. You listen to it, but it is not to be heard; Its name is Soundless. You grasp it, but it is not to be held; Its name is Bodiless. These three elude all scrutiny. And hence they blend and become one.
- Scriptures
The more I study religions the more I am convinced that man never worshiped anything but himself.
- Richard Francis Burton
How profound is your religious depth can be assessed from the number of
assurances and blessings you still need for your life.
- Deep Trivedi
To die for religion is easier than to live it absolutely.
- Jorge Luis Borges
A religious person is...the one who accepts the responsibility for the success and
failures of his life. The one who entrusts it to rituals, worship, astrology, family or
friends...is irreligious.
- Deep Trivedi
Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by the rulers as useful.
- Seneca the Younger
The minute you get a religion you stop thinking. Believe in one thing too much and you have no room for new ideas.
- Ray Bradbury
A priest once quoted to me the Roman saying that a religion is dead when the priests laugh at each other across the altar. I always laugh at the altar, be it Christian, Hindu, or Buddhist, because real religion is the transformation of anxiety into laughter.
- Alan Wilson Watts
If I had to choose a religion, the sun as the universal giver of life would be my god.
- Napoleon Bonaparte
