“People often ask me, "you are not a believer in the common sense of the term, then why don't you call yourself an atheist", I tell them, "that's because atheists place all importance on facts, I place all importance on people". As a scientist, I am very much aware of the value of facts, but facts are never more important than the people, in fact, they are only valuable so long as they serve the welfare of people - in circumstances where facts go against the welfare of the people, a civilized human must always choose people over facts.”

“You want to see God? Look closely and without blinking into the faces of the forgotten, the frightened, and the unforgiven. Bear witness. Get down on your knees with them, spend time in their presence, hear their stories however they are told. Otherwise it is far too easy to believe they deserve their hell.”

“What does the river, the trees, the sun care about the concept of God - their sole purpose is to sustain life on earth - and so is mine. Christ made his sacrifice for his love for society, I have made my sacrifice for my love for society, and I believe strongly more than anything else, that this tradition of sacrifice will continue through many more Christs and Naskars, so long as there is human suffering on earth.”
