“What a strange fellowship this is, the God seekers in every land, lifting their voices in the most disparate ways imaginable to the God of all life. How does it sound from above? Like bedlam, or do the strains blend in strange ethereal harmony? Does one faith carry the lead or do the parts share in counterpoint and antiphony where not in full throated chorus?

We cannot know. All we can do is to listen carefully and with full attention to each voice in turn as it addresses the divine.”
― Huston Smith, The World's Religions

“It was my first clue that atheists are my brothers and sisters of a different faith, and every word they speak speaks of faith. Like me, they go as far as the legs of reason will carry them—and then they leap.”
― Yann Martel, Life of Pi

“If it is possible to be homesick for the world, even places one has never been and knows one will never see, this book is the child of such homesickness.”
― Huston Smith, The World's Religions

“It felt like illness, but it was only existence.”
― Joseph Fink, It Devours!
