“One can reach the gates of hell just as easily by short steps as by large.”

“The Gates of Heaven and the Gates of Hell are the same gates. It just depends which side you're standing on when you walk through.”

“I know paradise has many gates, just as hell does. One has to learn to distinguish between them, or one is lost.”

“Music is too loud for just one station, love is too large for just one nation life is too short to make just one decision and god is too big for just one religion.”

“That's why there are ten gates to pass through before you reach the garden. If life were easy there would be one gate. There would be no gates at all.”

“The first step is to measure whatever can be easily measured. This is OK as far as it goes. The second step is to disregard that which can't be easily measured or to give it an arbitrary quantitative value. This is artificial and misleading. The third step is to presume that what can't be measured easily really isn't important. This is blindness. The fourth step is to say that what can't be easily measured really doesn't exist. This is suicide.”
