Quotations
Religion
Religion is something infinitely simple, ingenuous... In the infinite extent of the universe, it is a direction of the heart.
-Rainer Maria Rilke
A prophet is not someone with special visions, just someone blind to most of what others see.
-Nassim Nicholas Taleb

-Deep Trivedi
The first requisite for the happiness of the people is the abolition of religion.
-Karl Marx
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.
-Deep Trivedi

The whole world is so-called religious...barring a few intellectuals. But then
where does all the anger, miseries, worries, envy, hatred and failure come from?
... Because, conquering all these feelings is only religiousness.
-Deep Trivedi
