[desmond dillon]

     

'We can reject everything else:  religion, ideology, all received wisdom. But we cannot escape the necessity of love and compassion. This then, is my true religion, my simple faith. In this sense there is no need for temple or church, for mosque or synagogue, no need for complicated philosophy, doctrine or dogma. Our own heart, our own mind is the temple. The doctrine is compassion. Love for others and respect for their rights and dignity no matter who or what they are:  ultimately these are all we need.'
