Famous love Quote by Sorin Cerin
“If man is vanity, its divinity will be vanity as well. Mans prayer will become his religion! And mans religion will have as main subject vanity and not divinity, because everything there is and everything there is not are owed to this Vanity, even the divinity that exists and the one that does not exist, even the Universe because all of these are known by man, because if they were not known none of the would exist! Thus, man is and will always remain a religious being, and if he should try to chase away the religious side of his Self he will do nothing else that chase himself away from his own Self, as he is now when he seeks and sees religion outside him.”
