-Avicenna
A prophet is not someone with special visions, just someone blind to most of what others see.
-Nassim Nicholas Taleb
Hatred and contempt, be it for a thing or a person, has no place in the 'Hindu'
religion... Whereas these so-called Hindu saints are building number of ashrams
by inculcating the unnecessary feeling of 'sinfulness' in you. What kind of Hindu

-Deep Trivedi
I love you when you bow in your mosque, kneel in your temple, pray in your church. For you and I are sons of one religion, and it is the spirit.

If putting a 'tilak' on the forehead, wearing a holy thread on the wrist, offering
prayers five times a day or visiting a temple, mosque and church, you could

-Deep Trivedi

-J. Krishnamurti "J. Krishnamurti"
The three most important things for a human being and his life are time, energy
and money. Religious rites rampantly exploit all three of them.
