Nothing so tends to mask the face of God as religion; it can be a substitute for God himself.
Martin BuberThe world is a spinning die, and everything turns and changes: man is turned into angel, and angel into man, and the head into the foot, and the foot into the head. Thus all things turn and spin and change, this into that, and that into this, the topmost to the undermost, and the undermost to the topmost. For at the root all is one, and salvation inheres in the change and return of things.
Martin BuberEverything depends on inner change; when this has taken place, then, and only then does the world change.
