I hate this world, this dream, this horrible nightmare, with its churches and chicaneries, its books and blackguardisms, its fair faces and false hearts, its howling righteousness on the surface and utter hollowness beneath and, above all, its sanctified shopkeeping!
Swami VivekanandaTo get any reason out of the mass of incongruity we call human life, we have to transcend our reason, but we must do it scientifically, slowly, by regular practice, and we must cast off all superstition.
Swami VivekanandaIf you have knowledge and see a man weak, do not condemn him. Go to his level and help him if you can. He must grow.
Swami Vivekananda
