I find distasteful the traditional idea of Christianity which preaches the resurrection of the body. Frankly, I see my body as more of a limitation than a virtue, and I will be glad to be free of it rather than having to continue to cart it around. I prefer to believe that souls can exist independently from bodies.

Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind.

I believe in God, only I spell it Nature.

We may be surprised at the people we find in heaven. God has a soft spot for sinners. His standards are quite low.

Live simply, love generously, care deeply, speak kindly, leave the rest to God.

Here is God's purpose - for God, to me, it seems, is a verb not a noun, proper or improper.

The world is my country,all mankind are my brethren,and to do good is my religion.

When you pray for anyone you tend to modify your personal attitude toward him.

Religion as a science, as a study, is the greatest and healthiest exercise that the human mind can have.

The thing the sixties did was to show us the possibilities and the responsibility that we all had. It wasn't the answer. It just gave us a glimpse of the possibility.

We are all atheists about most of the gods that societies have ever believed in. Some of us just go one god further.

All religions, arts and sciences are branches of the same tree.

If only God would give me some clear sign! Like making a large deposit in my name in a Swiss bank.

Split a piece of wood and I am there.

Doubt is a pain too lonely to know that faith is his twin brother.

He who has no faith in others shall find no faith in them.

He who knoweth his own self, knoweth God.

Relying on God has to begin all over again every day as if nothing had yet been done.

My idea of heaven is a place where the Tyne meets the Delta, where folk music meets the blues.

Imagination is the true magic carpet.

You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one. I hope someday you'll join us. And the world will live as one.
