Love is a religion, and its rituals cost more than those of other religions. It goes by quickly and, like a street urchin, it likes to mark its passage by a trail of devastation.
Honore de Balzac
Image
In the New Hebrides, any dancer making a mistake was assaulted, wounded, and possibly killed by bowmen posted to keep careful watch for inaccuracies in rituals.
Jamake Highwater
Image
I listen to instrumental jazz and bluegrass, but aside from my AM workout, I have no rituals.
David B. Coe
Image
You have to know your triggers for stress and then have rituals for combating them.
Gabrielle Bernstein
Image
To seek God by rituals is to get the ritual and lose God in the process
Meister Eckhart
Image
Liberation is an ever shifting horizon, a total ideology that can never fulfill its promises. It has the therapeutic quality of providing emotionally charged rituals of solidarity in hatred - it is the amphetamine of its believers.
Arianna Huffington

I write on sacred stories, symbols and rituals of all cultures - European, American and Chinese - but my audiences, typically, like me to focus on India.

Rituals are important. I get up. I take the dogs on a walk around to the front and then I pick up the papers. Then I walk around to the front door, then me and the two dogs come in the house and I give them treats. I make coffee. It's the regularity of these kinds of rituals that I find deeply satisfying.
Jane Fonda

The church must provide postmoderns with an alternity of rituals by which they can turn and tune to one another and feel connected to the cosmos.
Leonard Sweet
Image
Funerals are important rituals. They don't just recognize that a life has ended they recognize that a life was lived.
Aaron Eckhart
Image
Rituals are a good signal to your unconscious that it is time to kick in.
Anne Lamott
Image
This is what rituals are for. We do spiritual ceremonies as human beings in order to create a safe resting place for our most complicated feelings of joy or trauma, so that we don't have to haul those feelings around with us forever, weighing us down.
Elizabeth Gilbert
Image
If I were to disclose all their rituals, I think that it would be easy to prove that witches are not diabolists but the oaths are solemn and the witches are my friends. I would not want to hurt their feelings. They have secrets which to them are sacred. They have good reason for their secrecy.
Gerald Gardner

I think we ought to close Halloween down. Do you want your children to dress up as witches? The Druids used to dress up like this when they were doing human sacrifice... Your children are acting out Satanic rituals and participating in it, and don't even realize it.
Pat Robertson

Under Confucianism, the use of precisely measured court music, prescribed steps, actions, and phrases all added up to an extremely complex system of rituals, each used for a particular purpose at a particular time.
Benjamin Hoff
Image
Love and kindness are the basis of my religious beliefs. The rituals and outward signs are not as important as one's actions and deeds. Religion should be a path to God, not something to fight about.
Bernie Siegel
Image
We humans have always needed rituals to draw like curtains over the chasms of the unknown. Without them we go mad, I think.
Patricia J. Williams
Image
No special writing rituals. And my desk is usually cluttered.
Stephen Greenblatt
Image
I absolutely love religions and the rituals. Even though I don't believe in God, we celebrate pretty much every religion in our family with the kids.
Jodie Foster
Image
I don't really have special rituals, but I don't try to write fiction unless I have a minimum of a few hours. For me, it takes a while to settle into a mode where I'm truly concentrating
Curtis Sittenfeld
Image
Rituals are the end of fidelity and honesty, and the beginning of confusion.
Laozi
Image
Various religions offer a variety of theories about life, death, and eternity. And yet, as different as all religions are, they share one common characteristic: they teach that the way to be reconciled to God is through works and rituals.
Robert Jeffress

It's different when the person you love dies. There's an awful finality to death. But it is final. The end. And there's the funeral, family gatherings, grieving, all of those necessary rituals. And they help, believe me. When the object of your love just disappears, there's no way to deal with the grief and pain.
Barbara Taylor Bradford

Electronic culture created soulless replacements for connective rituals- television supplanted tribal legends told by the fire 'fast food' consumed in distraction took the place of a shared meal. We substituted matter for Mater (feminine principle), money for mother's milk, objects for emotional bonds.
