Quotations
Religion
The modern habit of doing ceremonial things unceremoniously is no proof of humility; rather it proves the offender’s inability to forget himself in the rite, and his readiness to spoil for everyone else the proper pleasure of ritual.
-C. S. Lewis "C. S. Lewis"
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"
Restaurants get you in with food to sell you liquor; religions get you in with belief to sell you rules.

this skill of ours works...because there is no dearth of intelligent people in this
world.
-Deep Trivedi
Religion is the impotence of the human mind to deal with occurrences it cannot understand.

The first sign that you are becoming religious is that you are becoming cheerful.
