Religion is something infinitely simple, ingenuous... In the infinite extent of the universe, it is a direction of the heart.

One is absolutely sickened, not by the crimes that the wicked have committed, but by the punishments that the good have inflicted; and a community is infinitely more brutalised by the habitual employment of punishment than it is by the occasional occurrence of crime.
-Oscar Wilde
In history, we remember and respect only those who have the courage to stand
apart from the crowd and speak the "truth". Like Buddha, who despite being
born into a Hindu family defied Hindu traditions, its hypocrisies and established
Buddhism. Likewise, even Jesus, born into a Jewish family, revolted against
Jewish traditions and lost his life, or "Krishna" who not only opposed every
prevalent tradition, but even broke them all his life. Do you still wish to continue
being a Hindu, Muslim or Christian?
-Deep Trivedi
Neither do we have to make the sun or moon rise nor manage gravitation. We do
not even have to convert the food that we eat into blood. All that we have to do
is, put our own life on the path of peace, bliss and success. Isn't it amusing that
we, who claim ourselves to be so intelligent, cannot do even this bit of work?
-Deep Trivedi
Those who dream by day are cognizant of many things which escape those who dream only by night.
-Edgar Allan Poe
Follow me, and let the people speak: stay still like a tower which doesn’t collapse when a strong wind blows.
-Dante Alighieri
Food to a large extent is what holds a society together and eating is closely linked to deep spiritual experiences.
-Peter Farb
One of the symptoms of an approaching nervous breakdown is the belief that one's work is terribly important.
-Bertrand Russell
What really interests me is whether God had any choice in the creation of the world.
-Albert Einstein
Experience - the wisdom that enables us to recognize in an undesirable old acquaintance the folly that we have already embraced.
-Ambrose Bierce
