“One must know when it is right to doubt, to affirm, to submit. Anyone who does otherwise does not understand the force of reason. Some men run counter to these three principles, either affirming that everything can be proved, because they know nothing about proof, or doubting everything, because they do not know when to submit, or always submitting, because they do not know when judgment is called for.”
― Blaise Pascal, �ʱ�Բ�é���

“If you are thinking that the Lord is a distant cosmic architect or an ubiquitous heavenly uncle, an impersonal life force or a good old Santa Claus, you are terribly mistaken!

― Royal Raj S

“Somehow, not judging has become very much in vogue. When presented with a dilemma, it’s what the progressive-minded are supposed to do. Not judging is great when it comes to superficialities like, “I’m not going to judge your green, bouffant hair,�� or civil rights like, “I’m not going to judge your sexual orientation,�� but it falls apart when you apply it to moral dilemmas. “I’m not going to judge the Syrian refugee crisis�� just makes you sound like an asshole.”

“Posh Yet Potty (The Sonnet)

One can be posh on the outside yet potty on the inside.
More often than less both of these go hand in hand.
Pedigree, personality, position, all are deemed important.
Amidst this royal mess of things we forget to be human.
We look at partisan loyalty, we look at intellectual fluency,
And in the process of analysis we end up a freudian chasm.
In order to find whether someone belongs in our camp,
We act less of a human and more of a lifeless algorithm.
It's okay if you don't know how to use spoon and fork.
What matters is, to reach out and feed an empty stomach.
It's okay if you don't know much fancy words and facts.
What matters is, your heart beats beyond the factual muck.
So, shitty or not we look on the outside, let's pay no attention,
Instead let us muster all spirit towards internal ascension.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Making Britain Civilized: How to Gain Readmission to The Human Race

“The judge wants you to hide and apologize for being onstage. I want you to bust onstage through the door with a smile on your face and drink in your hand. What I learned was not that you won't have any doubts, not that you will never be nervous, but that you have to acknowledge that fear and proceed with courage.”
― Mick Napier, Improvise.: Scene from the Inside Out

“Yet surely, in the world of humans, no one goes out of their way to run down a person who hasn't really made it in the world, or whose reputation is already on the wane. And no one would pause to savour the sight or the sound of some boring bird such as a kite or a crow. So, really, it's precisely because the uguisu is supposed to be such a marvellous bird that one's perversely more aware of its failings.”
― Sei Shōnagon, The Pillow Book

“Many people often ask me, "Is it better to be single or married?", To which I answer, single if you do not find the right person and married if you do. They also ask, "Is it better to have a business or a job", to which I reply whatever makes you happier and feel fulfilled. They then ask why I have decided to become a writer, to which I reply that it was never a decision, and it was never mine either. It is more correct to say that I learned to accept myself. This doesn't mean I won't change. Any circumstance in life is the result of many decisions and it shouldn't trouble your mind. But quite often, what troubles you is not life itself but the judgement of others. Yet you look at their judgements rather than their lack of capacity to make proper judgements. I never listen to what fools say because they can only say foolishness. People create that which is rooted in their being and if their nature is of immense ignorance, their advice to you will be as useful as a rotten apple falling from a tree with no life. The fact that you shouldn't eat rotten apples should be as obvious as the fact that you shouldn't listen to fools.”
― Dan Desmarques

“When people worship a god who is willing to inflict eternal suffering on others, it only follows that they will be a people who are willing to inflict abusive and oppressive suffering on others in the name of that god and his "righteousness".

And they will call it love.”
― Jamie Arpin-Ricci

“... you can never judge a man by how he acts at his best. You have to see him at his worst; at his weakest. You have to watch him try to overcome adversity, then you’ll see him for who he really is.”
― N.A. Cooper, Ripple Effect

“Rather than judgment (which exacerbates shame), empathy conveys a simple acknowledgment, "You're not alone.”
