“Better not to plant seeds of selfishness than try to eradicate them once they have grown into giant weeds. (91)”

“Every organized religion holds that certain behaviors, rituals, personalities, places, and/or books are sacred.

To such a one, God is direct and spontaneous, providing him with an immediate source of guidance and direction. His relationship with God is not mediated through anyone or anything. (104)”
