Yann Martel

“Listen my darling, if you're going to be religious, you must either be a Hindu, a Christian, or a Muslim...'

'I don't understand why I can't be all three. Mamaji has two passports. He's Indian and French. Why can't I be a Hindu, a Christian, and a Muslim?'

'That's different. France and India are nations on earth.'

'How many nations are there in the sky?'

She thought for a second. 'One. That's the point. One nation, one passport.'

'One nation in the sky?'

'Yes. Or none. There's that option too, you know. These are terribly old-fashioned things you've taken to.'

'If there's only one nation in the sky, shouldn't all passports be valid for it?”
