Quotations

The biggest scourges of human life are fear, false hopes and dependency.

If you think even for a moment, how much valuable resources and precious time

come up instead.

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
Anyone who thinks sitting in church can make you a Christian must also think that sitting in a garage can make you a car.
