I'm not into organized religion. I'm into believing in a higher source of creation, realizing we're all just part of nature.

It is quite useless knocking at the door of heaven for earthly comfort. It's not the sort of comfort they supply there.

Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence.

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.

God is not a diversion.

Not only does God play dice, but... he sometimes throws them where they cannot be seen.
