I don't post quotes very often, because I generally find people tend to use them in place of actual, good, intelligent arguments. As if having posted Quote X effectively wins the argument. Fact is, you can find a smart-sounding quote to support just about anything. They are the original sound bite. A good quote can add finality to an argument, but it doesn't comprise an argument. Most conflicts are much too complicted to be resolved in a quote. Sadly, many people seem not to know this and merrily go about with it anyway. Confirmation bias and all.
Having said that, here you go:
"I am increasingly convinced that the time has come to find a way of thinking about spirituality and ethics beyond religion altogether." - Dalai Lama
