-Albert Einstein
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
Restaurants get you in with food to sell you liquor; religions get you in with belief to sell you rules.
-Nassim Nicholas Taleb

The more I study religions the more I am convinced that man never worshiped anything but himself.
-Richard Francis Burton
There is not enough religion in the world even to destroy religion.
-Friedrich Nietzsche
I call him religious who understands the suffering of others.
-Mahatma Gandhi
