We are so interested in religion that first we put the person who has come to
awaken us to sleep. Then making him God, we establish such a religion around

few hypocrisies, also remain proud of being religious.
-Deep Trivedi

People become attached to their burdens sometimes more than the burdens are attached to them.

It is hard to believe that a man is telling the truth when you know that you would lie if you were in his place.
