“Does any one believe that Jew, Mohammedan, Catholic, and Protestant can long live in peace together? Common social needs bring mankind together but religion drives them apart. There can never be a lasting peace until the myth of God is dispelled forever from the minds of men. Then and then only, can the adjustment between economic and political forces lead to a permanent peace.”

“It passes away like the end of a day, like a toddler’s first goldfish, like a leaf in the autumn, like grandparents, like fruit flies, like memories, like a flower that’s been picked, like childhood and youth, like Ozymandias, like a worm that gets eaten by a bird that gets caught by a cat that gets hit by a car, like starving children across the world, like everything. The days weave together, a million tiny moments that I despise or savour or simply notice one at a time as I fall deeper and deeper into silence and into God, which is just another word for Love.”

“Every moment is a gift, but when the moment passes, the gift is not gone. The real gift is the life and spirit within another. That life is everywhere around us. It gets concentrated in a certain place and we call that a ‘loved one’. But if the ‘loved one’ has to journey somewhere, we haven’t lost the gift of love or life. It swirls around and shows itself to us in a million ways.”
