Sigmund Freud
“Religion is an attempt to get control over the sensory world, in which we are placed, by means of the wish-world, which we have developed inside us as a result of biological and psychological necessities. But it cannot achieve its end. Its doctrines carry with them the stamp of the times in which they originated, the ignorant childhood days of the human race. Its consolations deserve no trust. Experience teaches us that the world is not a nursery. The ethical commands, to which religion seeks to lend its weight, require some other foundations instead, for human society cannot do without them, and it is dangerous to link up obedience to them with religious belief. If one attempts to assign to religion its place in man’s evolution, it seems not so much to be a lasting acquisition, as a parallel to the neurosis which the civilized individual must pass through on his way from childhood to maturity.”
― Sigmund Freud , Moses and Monotheism

“As a Stoic humanist, I see life as a sacred opportunity to cultivate wisdom, compassion, and inner equilibrium. I trust in the guiding light of reason and the clarity of science, yet I also honor the boundless beauty of the human spirit. Personal autonomy and responsibility anchor my journey, reminding me that true freedom arises not from controlling the world but from mastering my own thoughts, emotions, and actions. Tolerance and harmony allow me to walk gently through life, while kindness and compassion elevate my existence beyond the self. Through creativity, art, music, literature, and the steady pursuit of ethical living, I strive to transform every moment into a meaningful act of presence. In this way, I seek not only to understand life but to illuminate it, with purpose, with dignity, and with love.”
― Debasish Mridha M.D.
