What the feminists want of me is something they haven't examined because it comes from religion. They want me to bear witness.

If I were going to convert to any religion I would probably choose Catholicism because it at least has female saints and the Virgin Mary.

It's been mentioned or suggested that Paradise will not be well studied because it's about this unimportant intellectual topic which is religion.

Religious wars are not caused by the fact that there is more than one religion but by the spirit of intolerance... the spread of which can only be regarded as the total eclipse of human reason.

There is one thing higher than Royalty: and that is religion which causes us to leave the world and seek God.

I don't normally talk about my religion publicly because I don't want people to associate me and my flaws with this beautiful thing. And I believe it is beautiful if you learn it the right way.

The fact that religion plays such a part in how people vote troubles me troubles me as a minister's daughter. Because I always felt that the separation of church and state was what our forefathers and foremothers really fought for.

The latest horror to hit the U.S. looks to have been caused by people of Middle Eastern origin bearing Muslim names. Again shame. This fuels more hatred for a religion and a people who have nothing to do with these events.

In matters of religion and matrimony I never give any advice because I will not have anybody's torments in this world or the next laid to my charge.

Our religion is itself profoundly sad - a religion of universal anguish and one which because of its very catholicity grants full liberty to the individual and asks no better than to be celebrated in each man's own language - so long as he knows anguish and is a painter.

Religion has caused more harm than any other idea since the beginning of time. There's nothing good I can say about it. People use it as a crutch.

Wherever men and women are persecuted because of their race religion or political views that place must - at that moment - become the center of the universe.

All religion seems to need to prove that it's the only truth. And that's where it turns demonic. Because that's when you get religious wars and persecutions and burning heretics at the stake.

We are a nation that is unenlightened because of religion. I do believe that. I think religion stops people from thinking. I think it justified crazies.

I am against religion because it teaches us to be satisfied with not understanding the world.

Religion can never reform mankind because religion is slavery.

If then you are looking for the way by which you should go take Christ because He Himself is the way.

I know the Bible is inspired because it inspires me.

I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen: not only because I see it but because by it I see everything else.

I've been working on Barb for a while. I looked at her as a sort of every woman. She's incredibly strong she's incredibly generous. She's seemingly insane because she is in the situation of a polygamous relationship but she had definite reasons to do it.

There were many women around. We all had a relationship with each other that was very strong. And all of our minds kind of hooked up. We rejected the society. We rejected marriage because we didn't like what our parents had.

My relationship with 'Pollyanna' is a very personal one because Pollyanna got me through my childhood.

I am very proud of this work because it is more about the meaning of the Easter Rising and its relationship to what this whole century has been about people liberating themselves freeing themselves.

It was a good 15 or 20 years before anyone at Rand would be in the same room with me. They didn't want the question raised 'What's your relationship with Daniel Ellsberg?' And not one of them wrote me a letter because they didn't want a letter of theirs to show up in my trash - which the FBI had been going through.
