Mankind have banned the Divinity from their presence; they have relegated him to a sanctuary; the walls of the temple restrict his view; he does not exist outside of it. РDiderot, Pens̩es philosophiques, 1746

The purpose of all major religious traditions is not to construct big temples on the outside, but to create temples of goodness and compassion inside, in our hearts. – Tenzin Gyatso, 14th Dalai Lama
