Quotations
Religion
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 "Tao Te Ching 14"
To die for religion is easier than to live it absolutely.
-Jorge Luis Borges
Truth, in matters of religion, is simply the opinion that has survived.
-Oscar Wilde
A prophet is not someone with special visions, just someone blind to most of what others see.
-Nassim Nicholas Taleb
My best advice to anyone who wants to raise a happy, mentally healthy child is: Keep him or her as far away from a church as you can.

The Hindu world has always accepted 'religion' in its totality; as their 'God' who is free from all attachments has not denied anything, right from wine to dance and violence for the destruction of evil to the worldly life… Then on what grounds, these proprietors of Hindu religion term the 'life fancier' people (the ones indulging in pleasures of life) as sinners and themselves religious?
-Deep Trivedi
To hate man and love god seems to be the sum of all creeds.
-Robert G. Ingersoll
Those who are fundamentalists and refuse to listen to anything said against them,
we call them terrorists. Don't you find similar traits in majority of our religious
heads? If this wasn't true then why were Socrates, Mansoor and Jesus killed?
-Deep Trivedi
What is religion?
It is compassion for all things which have life.
-Hitopadesa "Hitopadesa"
