There are two kinds of people in this world: Those who believe there are two kinds of people in this world and those who are smart enough to know better.

Religion is nothing but institutionalized mysticism. The catch is, mysticism does not lend itself to institutionalization. The moment we attempt to organize mysticism, we destroy its essence. Religion, then, is mysticism in which the mystical has been killed. Or, at least diminished.

"As long as a population can be induced to believe in a supernatural hereafter, it can be oppressed and controlled. People will put up with all sorts of tyranny, poverty and painful treatment if they're convinced that they'll eventually escape to some resort in the sky where lifeguards are superfluous and the pool never closes." -- Tom Robbins

Prima di venire ucciso dalla curiosità, il gatto impara di più sul mondo che un centinaio di cani non curiosi. Ne aveva inoltre concluso che la Curiosità poteva essere aggiunta a quell'elenco di caratteristiche- Senso dell'umorismo, Immaginazione, Erotismo, Spiritualità, Insubordinazione e Senso estetico- che, a sentire sua nonna, separavano gli esseri umani a pieno titolo da quelli meno evoluti.

“Love easily confuses us because it is always in flux between illusion and substance, between memory and wish, between contentment and need.”

I've always assumed that every time a child is born, the Divine reenters the world. Okay? That's the meaning of the Christmas story. And every time that child's purity is corrupted by society, that's the meaning of the Crucifixion story. Your man Jesus stands for that child, that pure spirit, and as its surrogate, he's being born and put to death again and again, over and over, every time we inhale and exhale, not just at the vernal equinox and on the twenty-fifth of December.
