A wise man once told me- he’s a muslim by the way- that he has more in common with a jew than he does a fanatic of his own religion. He has more in common with a rational, reasonable-minded Christian or a Buddhist or Hindu than he does with a fanatic of his own religion. In fact, he has more in common with a ration, reasonable-minded atheist than he does with a fanatic of his own religion

Some things are just so sad that only your soul can do the crying for you.

Every virtuous act has some Dark secret in its heart; every risk we take contains a mystery that can’t be solved.

I look back, now, and I know that the naming moment, which seemed so insignificant then, which seemed to demand no more than an arbitrary and superstitious yes or no, was in fact a pivotal moment in my life.

There's no such thing as forever.

It doesnt always help us to love the world,but it does prevent us from hating the world.
