The drive behind life has lost none of its power proof that, impelled by that drive, man can build as well as destroy that in his nature is more of Vishnu the Creator than of Siva the Destroyer.

More quotes by George Amos Dorsey
As one recalls some of the monstrous situations under which human beings have lived and live their lives, one marvels at man's meekness and complacency. It can only be explained by the quality of flesh to become calloused to situations that if faced suddenly would provoke blisters and revolt.
George Amos Dorsey
Religion is a disease. It is born of fear it compensates through hate in the guise of authority, revelation. Religion, enthroned in a powerful social organization, can become incredibly sadistic. No religion has been more cruel than the Christian.
