With the disappearance of God the Ego moves forward to become the sole divinity.

Religion is made up of unrestrained wishes.

Our whole life consists of despairing of an answer and seeking an answer.

The more people anticipate the elimination of suffering the less strength they have actually to oppose it. Whoever deals with his personal suffering only in the way our society has taught him - through illusion, minimization, suppression, apathy - will deal with societal suffering in the same way.

toleration of exploitation, oppression, and injustice points to a condition lying like a pall over the whole of society; it is apathy, an unconcern that is incapable of suffering.

If my hands are fully occupied in holding on to something, I can neither give nor receive.

To be content with the world as it is is to be dead.
