• But I am all for love, and I am against marriage, particularly the arranged kind, because the arranged marriage gives you satisfaction. And love? - love can never satisfy you. It gives you more and more thirst for a better and better love, it makes you more and more long for it, it gives you tremendous discontentment. And that discontent is the beginning of the search for God. When love fails many times, you start looking for a new kind of lover, a new kind of love, a new quality of love. That love affair is prayer, meditation, sannyas.

  Rajneesh

• Fine. Sit around being inconsiderate asses…and you wonder why none of you are married. (Zarina) (Sway cleared his throat meaningfully.) Oh, shush. You don’t count. You had an arranged marriage.

• Decir que tienes que llevar a término y cuidar de un niño el resto de tu vida es decir que te obligo, legalmente, a amar a alguien. Es como decir, ya sabes, tienes que ir y amar a otro... tienes que ir... ya sabes, tienes que ir y casarte con alguien. Es como un matrimonio concertado.

• Cuando oigo decir a la gente que la religión no hace daño a nada, digo ¿en serio? Bueno, aparte de las guerras, las cruzadas, las inquisiciones, el 11-S, la limpieza étnica, la supresión de las mujeres, la supresión de los homosexuales, las fatwas, los crímenes de honor, los atentados suicidas, los matrimonios concertados con menores, los sacrificios humanos, la quema de brujas y el sexo sistemático con niños, tengo algunas pequeñas objeciones. Y me olvidé de volar escuelas de niñas en Afganistán.
