"If you study the writings of the mystics, you will always find things in them that appear to be paradoxes, as in Zen, particularly."
"But the attitude of faith is to let go, and become open to truth, whatever it might turn out to be."
"The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance."

But wars fought for simple greed will be far less destructive, because the aggressor will be careful not to destroy what he is fighting to capture. Reasonable - that is, human - men will always be capable of compromise, but men who have dehumanized themselves by becoming the blind worshipers of an idea or an ideal are fanatics whose devotion to abstractions makes them the enemies of life."

In our culture, of course, they'll say you're crazy and you're blasphemous, and they'll either put you in jail or in a nut house (which is pretty much the same thing). However if you wake up in India and tell your friends and relations, 'My goodness, I've just discovered that I'm God,' they'll laugh and say, 'Oh, congratulations, at last you found out."
"It is both dangerous and absurd for our world to be a group of communions mutually excommunicate."
