“We have accounts of the deification of men in pagan mythology. But I do not remember any account of a god becoming a man, to help man. Whoever heard of Jupiter or Mars or Minerva coming down and attempting to bear the burdens of men? The gods were willing enough to receive the gifts of men, but Christianity is unique in the fact that our God became a man with human infirmity and emptied Himself of the glory of heaven, in order that He might take upon Himself the sins, diseases and weakness of our humanity.”
“As Buddhists, statues are more than simply pieces of stone to us. We believe the statue of the Buddha has a kind of soul and is the Buddha in some sense. This is why we can pray to it. Clay is a very interesting and fundamental material - it's earth, it's water and - with fire - it takes on form and life. In fact, what is art? Art is giving to what you create a soul. That's why it is said God is like an artist.”
“My imagination is a monastery and I am its monk.”
“In law it is good policy to never plead what you need not, lest you oblige yourself to prove what you can not.”
“Once in everyone's life there is apt to be a period when he is fully awake, instead of half-asleep.”
“In politics, a lie unanswered becomes truth within 24 hours.”
“Marilyn Monroe was supposedly a size 16, which is probably why I love her style; it suits me better.”
“I think the neoatheists have set atheism back a few decades. And I'm a self-described atheist.”
