I'm fascinated by the business of belief, obviously, because it's so ever present with humanity anyway. And, you know, when you have science, which constantly talks of proofs, you have religion, which constantly talks of beliefs and faith and so on.

Belief is such a powerful thing - but because it is, it can also be very destructive and it's very easily manipulated.

Belief is so valuable and living that it infuses with life everything it enters! It transforms the fleeting glimmer of transitory life into eternal life, dispelling the transience in it.

I am fascinated with religion or things that people believe in and question that. I think it's interesting.

As a researcher, every once in a while you encounter something a little disconcerting. And this is something that changes your understanding of the world around you, and teaches you that you're very wrong about something that you really believed firmly in.

I am fascinated in religion and theology and what people believe.

We simply need to believe in the power that's within us, and use it.

I have a very deep religious belief.

We can have our beliefs and still read and discuss things.

Our religious belief usurps the place of our sensations, our imaginations of our judgment. We no longer look to actions, trace their consequences, and then deduce the rule; we first make the rule, and then, right or wrong, force the action to square with it.
