When asked if I consider myself Buddhist, the answer is, Not really. But its more my religion than any other because I was brought up with it in an intellectual and spiritual environment. I dont practice or preach it, however. – Uma Thurman
Every religion is true one way or another. It is true when understood metaphorically. But when it gets stuck in its own metaphors, interpreting them as facts, then you are in trouble. – Joseph Campbell
It may be that without a vision men shall die. It is no less true that, without hard practical sense, they shall also die. Without Jefferson the new nation might have lost its soul. Without Hamilton it would assuredly have been killed in body. – James Truslow Adams
