Favourite quotations	" My point once again is not that those ancient people told literal stories and we are now smart enough to take them symbolically but that they told them symbolically and we are now dumb enough to take them literally." - John Dominic Crossan " 2% percent of the people think; 3% of the people think they think; and 95% of the people would rather die than think." - George Bernard Shaw “ Life isn't about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself”.- George Bernard Shaw “ The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want and if they can't find them, make them.” – George Bernard Shaw “ All great truths begin as blasphemies.” – George Bernard Shaw “Liberty means responsibility. That is why most men dread it.” – George Bernard Shaw “This is the real secret of life—to be completely engaged with what you are doing in the here and now. And instead of calling it work, realize it is play.”- Alan Watts “Transiency is a mark of spirituality. A lot of people think the opposite… that the spiritual things are the everlasting things. But, you see, the more a things tends to be permanent, the more it tends to be lifeless.” – Alan Watts “Nirvana is right where you are, provided that you don’t object to it.” – Alan Watts “Buddha is the man who woke up, who discovered who he really was.” Alan Watts " Death is going to sleep and never waking up just as being born is waking up after never gone to sleep." -Alan Watts “The privilege of a lifetime is being who you are.” - Joseph Campbell “ The big question is whether you are going to be able to say a hearty yes to your adventure.” -Joseph Campbell “ We must be willing to get rid of the life we've planned, so as to have the life that is waiting for us.” – Joseph Campbell “ You enter the forest at the darkest point, where there is no path. Where there is a way or path, it is someone else's path. You are not on your own path. If you follow someone else's way, you are not going to realize your potential.” – Joseph Campbell " That is what people are doing all over the place, dying for metaphors"- Joseph Campbell “Many a man fails as an original thinker simply because his memory it too good.” – Friedrich Nietzsche “The surest way to corrupt a youth is to instruct him to hold in higher esteem those who think alike than those who think differently”. – Friedrich Nietzsche “ You had not yet sought yourselves: and you found me. Thus do all believers; therefore all faith amounts to so little. Now I bid you lose me and find yourselves; and only when you have all denied me will I return to you” – Friedrich Nietzsche “ I am not bigoted enough for a system—and not even for my system.” – Friedrich Nietzsche
