Quotations
Religion
Restaurants get you in with food to sell you liquor; religions get you in with belief to sell you rules.
-Nassim Nicholas Taleb
The biggest trick that we, the religious gurus have played is; the ones who came
to destroy us, we placed them only as gods before you. Now say, how could our
shutters ever be pulled down?
-Deep Trivedi

-Philip Pullman
What is religion? The science of mind and life. Who are Buddha, Krishna and
Christ? The doctors of our mind and life.
-Deep Trivedi
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
There is only one religion, though there are a hundred versions of it.
-George Bernard Shaw
Religion. A daughter of Hope and Fear, explaining to Ignorance the nature of the Unknowable.
-Ambrose Bierce
All religions exhort us to cleanse the heart of malice, greed, hate and anger. All religions hold out the gift of Grace as the prize for success in this cleaning process.
-Sathya Sai Baba "Sri Sathya Sai Baba"
