Anger and intolerance are the enemies of correct understanding.

I reject any religious doctrine that does not appeal to reason and is in conflict with morality.

Partition is bad. But whatever is past is past. We have only to look to the future.

I do not want to foresee the future. I am concerned with taking care of the present. God has given me no control over the moment following.

I love looking at pictures of nebulas and reading articles about black holes and dark matter - I always tie it into spirituality.

Have faith in your intuition and listen to your gut feeling.

I feel no need for any other faith than my faith in the kindness of human beings. I am so absorbed in the wonder of earth and the life upon it that I cannot think of heaven and angels.

There's a kind of optimism specifically within Christianity about the world - about whose side God is on. Well, I didn't have any of that in my background. I had physicality and chaos.
