"Religion is not a department of life; it is something that enters into the whole of it." ― Alan Watts Topic(s): Religion Tags: department, religion More From Alan Watts "Faith is a state of openness or trust." "Zen does not confuse spirituality with thinking about God while one is peeling potatoes. Zen spirituality is just to peel the potatoes." "In known history, nobody has had such capacity for altering the universe than the people of the United States of America. And nobody has gone about it in such an aggressive way." More In Religion "The people, and the people alone, are the motive force in the making of world history."― Mao Zedong "Supreme serenity still remains the Ideal of great Art. The shapes and transitory forms of life are but stages toward this Ideal, which Christ’s religion illuminates with His divine light."― Franz Liszt "A tyrant must put on the appearance of uncommon devotion to religion. Subjects are less apprehensive of illegal treatment from a ruler whom they consider god-fearing and pious. On the other hand, they do less easily move against him, believing that he has the gods on his side."― Aristotle
