Karen Armstrong
“A myth, therefore, is true because it is effective, not because it gives us factual information. If, however, it does not give us new insight into the deeper meaning of life, it has failed.”
Karen Armstrong, A Short History of Myth

Karen Armstrong
“Compassion impels us to work tirelessly to alleviate the suffering of our fellow creatures, to dethrone ourselves from the centre of our world and put another there, and to honour the inviolable sanctity of every single human being, treating everybody, without exception, with absolute justice, equity and respect.”
Karen Armstrong, Twelve Steps to a Compassionate Life

Karen Armstrong
“As we develop our compassionate mind, we should feel an increasing sense of responsibility for the suffering of others and form a resolve to do everything we can to free them from their pain.”
Karen Armstrong, Twelve Steps to a Compassionate Life

Karen Armstrong
“Unless there is some kind of spiritual revolution that can keep abreast of our technological genius, it is unlikely that we will save our planet. A purely rational education will not suffice.”
Karen Armstrong , The Great Transformation: The Beginning of Our Religious Traditions

Karen Armstrong
“The Meccan merchants had met Christian monks and hermits during their travels, and were familiar with the stories of Jesus and the concepts of Paradise and the Last Judgment. They called Jews and Christians the ahl al-kitab (“the People of the Book”). They admired the notion of a revealed text and wished they had sacred scripture in their own language.”
Karen Armstrong, Muhammad: A Prophet for Our Time
