More than any other in Western Europe, Britain remains a country where a traveler has to think twice before indulging in the ordinary food of ordinary people.
~ Joseph Lelyveld
I think what I and most other sociologists of religion wrote in the 1960s about secularization was a mistake. Our underlying argument was that secularization and modernity go hand in hand. With more modernization comes more secularization.
~ Peter L. Berger
Religion is doing; a man does not merely think his religion or feel it, he lives his religion as much as he is able, otherwise it is not religion but fantasy or philosophy.
~ George Gurdjieff
Even the weakest disputant is made so conceited by what he calls religion, as to think himself wiser than the wisest who think differently from him.
~ Walter Savage Landor
Religion is dangerous because it allows human beings who don't have all the answers to think that they do.
~ Bill Maher
I think religion is a mistake - I'm exhausted by its self-righteousness. I think atheists should start screaming for attention like religious folks do.
~ Björk
There was a time when someone would get on a plane and request to move their seat just because the person sitting next to them was of a different ethnicity or religion or nationality. But I don't think my generation wants that. That's how it used to be.
~ Asap Rocky
The artist himself may not think he is religious, but if he is sincere his sincerity in itself is religion.
~ Emily Carr
I don't think that people accept the fact that life doesn't make sense. I think it makes people terribly uncomfortable. It seems like religion and myth were invented against that, trying to make sense out of it.
~ David Lynch
I think the founding fathers believed religion shouldn't interact directly with government.
~ Jesse Ventura
The moral systems of religion, I think, are super important.
~ Bill Gates
I talk about religion because it's one of the ways human beings find power and belonging. Religion is more than just that - I think faith traditions give us ways to talk about experiences of the numinous, too - but power and belonging are a big part of it.
~ Gene Luen Yang
I think Christianity is the same as Buddhism and Hinduism - whenever a religion begins to say that these are the things you have to do to be loved by God, you have a religion.
~ Erwin Mcmanus
Eradicating a religion of kindness is, I think, a terrible thing for the Chinese to attempt.
~ Martin Scorsese
I still love the theology of the Mormon religion and think it is a wonderful way to grow up.
~ Katherine Heigl
In the early days I had a very black-and-white view of everything. I think that's kind of natural for anyone who's just embraced Islam - or any religion - as a convert. It was important for me to duck out of the fast and furious life I'd been living as a pop star. I was in a different mood.
~ Cat Stevens
I think quite a bit of organized religion has become big business. Jesus Christ never sold the word of God. He never gave a sermon and then said, 'For $8.99, you can buy the CD.'
~ Ving Rhames
The thing about me is, I don't care what religion you are. If someone is attacking your religion, I will have your back, and I will defend you. I think that is the most repulsive thing a person can do, attack another person's faith.
~ Kirstie Alley
I think flying planes into a building was a faith-based initiative. I think religion is a neurological disorder.
I try to just talk about human stories and what I think about religion or teapots or whatever.
~ Eddie Izzard
What makes a comedian has nothing to do with religion. Think of Red Skelton, Jimmy Durante, Jackie Gleason, who were all Catholics.
~ Buddy Hackett
You can't please everyone. When you're too focused on living up to other people's standards, you aren't spending enough time raising your own. Some people may whisper, complain and judge. But for the most part, it's all in your head. People care less about your actions than you think. Why? They have their own problems!
~ Kris Carr
I learned that we can do anything, but we can't do everything... at least not at the same time. So think of your priorities not in terms of what activities you do, but when you do them. Timing is everything.
~ Dan Millman
I think every girl's dream is to find a bad boy at the right time, when he wants to not be bad anymore.
~ Taylor Swift
I think anything is possible if you have the mindset and the will and desire to do it and put the time in.
~ Roger Clemens
Sometimes you will think you can't take it another day. But if you hang in there, one step at a time, you will be able to accomplish more than you ever imagine.
~ Taya Kyle
Imagination makes us aware of limitless possibilities. How many of us haven't pondered the concept of infinity or imagined the possibility of time travel? In one of her poems, Emily Bronte likens imagination to a constant companion, but I prefer to think of it as a built-in entertainment system.
~ Alexandra Adornetto
I think it's time we all agree that gender stereotypes are simply the confabulation of our own mind.
~ Naveen Jain
I think getting married was a mistake along the way, but at the same time I wouldn't have the wonderful children I have if I didn't get married.
~ Hugh Hefner
I think the power of persuasion would be the greatest superpower of all time.
~ Jenny Mollen
Time is an illusion. Time only exists when we think about the past and the future. Time doesn't exist in the present here and now.
~ Marina Abramović
Finding some quiet time in your life, I think, is hugely important.
~ Mariel Hemingway
I think women are foolish to pretend they are equal to men they are far superior and always have been.
~ William Golding
Well, the tyranny of masculinity and the tyranny of patriarchy I think has been much more deadly to men than it has to women. It hasn't killed our hearts. It's killed men's hearts. It's silenced them; it's cut them off.
~ Eve Ensler
I think beauty is not just about what we put on our heads or on our faces or what we wear: it's deeper than that, and if we can celebrate that, celebrate the women, not just the superficiality... I think it would be really gorgeous.
~ Alek Wek
I think that, if anything, the pageant is great for people who suffer from body issues. It's all about being comfortable with what you're given and what you have and being able to flaunt it without being insecure. It's about empowering women, not making them feel weak or less.
~ Olivia Culpo
Women are systematically degraded by receiving the trivial attentions which men think it manly to pay to the sex, when, in fact, men are insultingly supporting their own superiority.
~ Mary Wollstonecraft
Older women are best, because they always think they may be doing it for the last time.
~ Ian Fleming
For a man to strike any women is most brutal, and I, as well as everyone else, think this far worse than any attempt to shoot, which, wicked as it is, is at least more comprehensible and more courageous.
~ Queen Victoria
I think if women are visible in the media, truly visible, in an empowered role, it empowers us to be more visible in any area of our lives.
~ Gloria Steinem
