“Real genuine joy is borne of sadness and sorrow.”

“Only if we see religion and science as symbols leading to the depth of reality, can we talk of meaningful dialogue between the two.”

“Science and religion form the two pillars of our civilization and they need each other for the survival of ourselves.”

“There is a subtle way of dominating you/ By always making you dependent on me./ Love sees through and liberates you/ To stand on your own feet.”

“The secret of joy is: To know the world and its evil powers ... and still preserve the hope.”

“It is much worse to be dead when we are alive/ Dead by the fear of death, when we are not yet dead!/ The incredible paradox of worrying to avoid death / Being the very cause of death!”
