Riguelis

“What I find interesting is that of all these religious figures of ancient times, only the Buddha did not claim to be a god, or to be talking to God. The others all claim to be God, or God’s son, or to be taking dictation from God. Whereas the Buddha simply said, there is no God. The universe itself is holy, human beings are sacred, all the sentient beings are sacred and can work to be enlightened, and one must only pay attention to daily life, the middle way, and give thanks and worship in daily action. It is the most unassuming of religions. Not even a religion, but more a way to live.”
― Kim Stanley Robinson, The Years of Rice and Salt

“El problema del mal es que siempre lo imaginamos allá, afuera, como si nosotros no tuviéramos nada que ver con él. El mal es una categoría que nos gusta analizar en los otros. ¿Por qué? Porque nos da terror enfrentar la dosis de maldad (mucha, por lo general) que llevamos dentro.”
― Mario Mendoza, Akelarre (Fuera de colección)

“Toda ella parecía fuera de lugar, como una actriz que se ha equivocado de rodaje.”
― Liliana Colanzi, Nuestro mundo muerto

“Another time she said, “What I find interesting is that of all these religious figures of ancient times, only the Buddha did not claim to be a god, or to be talking to God. The others all claim to be God, or God’s son, or to be taking dictation from God. Whereas the Buddha simply said, there is no God.
