"The hierarchy of class in London was rigid. It was like a religion. It still is to a certain extent." ― Ben Kingsley Topic(s): Religion More From Ben Kingsley "One of the greatest things drama can do, at it’s best, is to redefine the words we use every day such as love, home, family, loyalty and envy. Tragedy need not be a downer." "If your best friend has stolen your girlfriend, it does become life and death." "Hamlet is an astonishing intelligence." More In Religion "We know too much, and are convinced of too little. Our literature is a substitute for religion, and so is our religion."― T. S. Eliot "I am not interested in the afterlife. Religion is supposed to be about losing your ego, not preserving it eternally in optimum conditions."― Karen Armstrong "Many of us saw religion as harmless nonsense. Beliefs might lack all supporting evidence but, we thought, if people needed a crutch for consolation, where’s the harm? September 11th changed all that."― Richard Dawkins
