Creative energy is more critical than learning.

We must not only learn to tolerate our differences. We must welcome them as the richness and diversity which can lead to true intelligence.

To a student: Dear Miss - I have read about sixteen pages of your manuscript . . . I suffered exactly the same treatment at the hands of my teachers who disliked me for my independence and passed over me when they wanted assistants. . . . Keep your manuscript for your sons and daughters, in order that they may derive consolation from it and not give a damn for what their teachers tell them or think of them. . . . There is too much education altogether.

The religion of the future will be a cosmic religion. It should transcend a personal God and avoid dogmas and theology. Covering both the natural and the spiritual, it should be based on a religious sense arising from the experience of all things, natural and spiritual, as a meaningful unity. Buddhism answers this description.

I have repeatedly said that in my opinion the idea of a personal God is a childlike one.

The Bible is a collection of honorable, but primitive legends which are still nevertheless pretty childish.
