“When a person gives you a book to read, he's asking you to look into his soul.”

“If you love God, surrender to God, you can live in the moment, free of anxiety. Without God? You look ahead and see traps and pitfalls, you look behind and you see loss and death.”

“I read somewhere that if you don't worship God, you'll find something else to worship, like money or power or your own reflection in the mirror.”

“When you worry, you're praying for what you don't want.”

“Be brave, be strong, read your sacred texts, and practice death.”

“It's good to have these stories in our holy books, to remind us that they were written by humans. Filthy-minded, morally ambiguous humans.”

“If you are patient, your mind will be more settled, and what you do will be more perfect.”
