Religion without humanity is very poor human stuff.
Morality without religion is only a kind of dead reckoning - an endeavor to find our place on a cloudy sea by measuring the distance we have run but without any observation of the heavenly bodies.
The Christian religion not only was at first attended with miracles but even at this day cannot be believed by any reasonable person without one.
The Americans combine the notions of religion and liberty so intimately in their minds that it is impossible to make them conceive of one without the other.
If any of you should ask me for an epitome of the Christian religion I should say that it is in one word - prayer. Live and die without prayer and you will pray long enough when you get to hell.
We can live without religion and meditation but we cannot survive without human affection.
Science without religion is lame religion without science is blind.
We saw what happened in Jimmy Carter's administration. President Carter was a good man with the best of intentions. But he came to Washington without a good working relationship with Democratic members of Congress which played a big part in his administration's problems.
Comic timing... is how to have a relationship with the camera and deal with the camera without looking like you are.
Let me say again that the relationship is asymmetrical: there's no democracy without a market economy but you can have a market economy without democracy.
We have to understand how the extremists got the way they are. Without that kind of understanding we'd never really get to know them. I put in nothing about their childhoods. But what I have put in is stuff about the weird symbiotic relationship between us and them.
But the relationship of morality and power is a very subtle one. Because ultimately power without morality is no longer power.
Till now I have never shot a scene without taking account of what stands behind the actors because the relationship between people and their surroundings is of prime importance.
No one leaves a long-term relationship scot-free or without conflict.
There's a trick to the Graceful Exit. It begins with the vision to recognize when a job a life stage a relationship is over - and to let go. It means leaving what's over without denying its value.
Actually I think my view is compatible with much of the work going on now in neuroscience and psychology where people are studying the relationship of consciousness to neural and cognitive processes without really trying to reduce it to those processes.
You know it's possible for two humans to be in a relationship without there needing to be some public reason for that relationship.
