Fundamentalism Brainy Quotes

#1. Throw away such intellect that doesn't bring people together – throw away such scriptures that create walls rather than bridges – throw away such institutions that proclaim exclusive authority over divinity – throw away such reasoning that barres you from accepting human weakness. Throw away every single trace of inhumanity, regardless of their intellectual or non-intellectual grounds. Intellect without humanity, is as dangerous as religious fundamentalism. #Quote by Abhijit Naskar

#2. Once you reach the brink of your will power, you have two options - either give up, or keep going. That decision decides whether you'll reach your goal. #Quote by Abhijit Naskar

#14. I have seen, the desperation and disorder of the powerless: how it twists the lives of children on the streets of Jakarta or Nairobi in much the same way as it does the lives of children on Chicago's South Side, how narrow the path is for them between humiliation and untrammeled fury, how easily they slip into violence and despair. I know that the response of the powerful to this disorder
alternating as it does between a dull complacency and, when the disorder spills out of its proscribed confines, a steady, unthinking application of force, of longer prison sentences and more sophisticated military hardware
is inadequate to the task. I know that the hardening of lines, the embrace of fundamentalism and tribe, dooms us all. #Quote by Barack Obama

If the hustle is in control, then it has been determined you are not. And outside forces and circumstances are in control of your life and your opportunities. #Quote by Steven Cuoco

There is a lot to be done my friend, so don't be silent - make journalism the vanguard of information. #Quote by Abhijit Naskar

#31. In modern neurotheology we examine the physical bases to spiritual, religious and mystical experiences and beliefs, that implicitly appear to reduce this rich phenomenology to only neuronal functions.

Over the foundation of philosophy, history witnessed the daring ventures of human excellence by both philosophical and scientific geniuses, such as Leonardo-da-Vinci, Copernicus, Galileo, Kepler, Bacon, Darwin, Newton and so on. And the chain of reaction they triggered with their extraordinarily abnormal thinking, given their surrounding ignorance and fundamentalism, resulted into the evolution of our modern science. #Quote by Abhijit Naskar
