When we remember we are all mad, the mysteries disappear and life stands explained.
Man is a Religious Animal. He is the only Religious Animal. He is the only animal that has the True Religion -- several of them. He is the only animal that loves his neighbor as himself and cuts his throat if his theology isn't straight. He has made a graveyard of the globe in trying his honest best to smooth his brother's path to happiness and heaven....The higher animals have no religion. And we are told that they are going to be left out in the Hereafter. I wonder why? It seems questionable taste.
We despise all reverences and all the objects of reverence which are outside the pale of our own list of sacred things. And yet, with strange inconsistency, we are shocked when other people despise and defile the things which are holy to us.

"It is agreed, in this country, that if a man can arrange his religion so that it perfectly satisfies his conscience, it is not incumbent on him to care whether the arrangement is satisfactory to anyone else or not."
"In religion and politics people's beliefs and convictions are in almost every case gotten at second-hand, and without examination."

One of my friends said this, "There's no point to a talent if no one appreciates it. When no one appreciates it, then it's a flaw."
She was referring to rejection of some talents people have that expose too much of human nature.
