• Boko Haram represents the ultimate Fatwa of our time. The question is does the sect's Fatwa represent the articulated position of the majority of Muslims in this nation? My reading over the last few years is an unambiguous no. We are undergoing an affliction that many could not have imagined about a decade ago. Let us confront the ultimate horror now. To remain inactive at this moment is to betray our children and to consolidate the ongoing crimes against our humanity. We must take the battle to the enemy...We sent our children to school; we must bring them back to school.

• I never was attached to that great sect, Whose doctrine is that each one should select Out of the crowd a mistress or a friend, And all the rest, though fair and wise, commend, To cold oblivion.

• I have come to light the lamp of Love in your hearts, to see that it shines day by day with added luster. I have not come on behalf of any exclusive religion. I have not come on a mission of publicity for a sect or creed or cause, nor have I come to collect followers for a doctrine. I have no plan to attract disciples or devotees into my fold or any fold. I have come to tell you of this unitary faith, this spiritual principle, this path of Love, this virtue of Love, this duty of Love, this obligation of Love.

• Spirituality is much wider than any particular religion, and in the larger ideas of it that are now coming on us even the greatest religion becomes no more than a broad sect or branch of the one universal religion, by which we shall understand in the future man's seeking for the eternal, the divine, the greater self, the source of unity and his attempt to arrive at some equation, some increasing approximation of the values of human life with the eternal and the divine values.

• We find sects and parties in most branches of science; and disputes which are carried on from age to age, without being brought to an issue. Sophistry has been more effectually excluded from mathematics and natural philosophy than from other sciences. In mathematics it had no place from the beginning; mathematicians having had the wisdom to define accurately the terms they use, and to lay down, as axioms, the first principles on which their reasoning is grounded. Accordingly, we find no parties among mathematicians, and hardly any disputes.

• ... I suppose that the party or sect which is to do any work in the world must breathe its own peculiar atmosphere, speak its own little patois, and see but one side of the question on which it fights.

• It does not try to reach down to the level of inferior classes; it does not try to win them for this or that sect of its own, with ready-made judgments and watchwords of its own. It seeks to away with classes, to make the best that has been taught and known in the world current everywhere, to make all men live in an atmosphere of sweetness and light, where they may use ideas, as it uses them itself, freely--nourished, and not bound by them.

  Matthew Arnold

• Creo en la libertad absoluta de conciencia para todos los hombres y en la igualdad de todas las iglesias, todas las sectas y todas las creencias ante la ley como una cuestión de derecho y no como una cuestión de favor. Creo en la separación absoluta de la Iglesia y el Estado y en la aplicación estricta de la Constitución de que el Congreso no promulgará ninguna ley que respete el establecimiento de una religión o que prohíba el libre ejercicio de la misma Creo que ningún tribunal de ninguna iglesia tiene poder alguno para dictar ningún decreto con fuerza de ley, salvo para establecer el estatus de sus propios comulgantes dentro de su propia iglesia.

• Never can a reforming sect survive if it is only reforming; the formative elements alone - the real impulse, that is, the principles - live on and on.

• When I consider all the circumstances detailed above respecting the Pans, I cannot help believing that, under the mythos, a doctrine or history of a sect is concealed. Cunti, the wife of Pandu (du or God, Pan), wife of the generative power, mother of the Pandavas or devas, daughter of Sura or Syra the Sun Pandæa only daughter of Cristna or the Sun Pandion, who had by Medea a son called Medus, the king of the Medes, who had a cousin, the famous Perseus surely all this is very mythological an historical parable!

• Of all persecuted sects, the Baptists stand forth as most prominent, simply and only because they aim at a more complete and thorough reform than any others ever attempted. They teach that Christ's kingdom is not of this world; that the church is not a national, political, or provincial establishment; but a congregation of holy men, separated from the world by the receiving of the Holy Spirit.

• A ground frequently taken by Christian theologians is that the progress and civilization of the world are due to Christianity; and the discussion is complicated by the fact that many eminent servants of humanity have been nominal Christians, of one or other of the sects. My allegation will be that the special services rendered to human progress by these exceptional men have not been in consequence of their adhesion to Christianity, but in spite of it, and that the specific points of advantage to human kind have been in ratio of their direct opposition to precise Biblical enactments.

• ...one exploiting sect, one people of leeches, one single devouring parasite closely and intimately bound together not only across national boundaries, but also across all divergences of political opinion ... [Jews have] that mercantile passion which constitutes one of the principle traits of their national character

• In your intercourse with sects, the sublime and abstruse doctrines of Christian belief belong to the Church; but the faith of the individual, centred in his heart, is, or may be, collateral to them. Faith is subjective.

• Prestad atención a la causa de la santa Iglesia Romana, madre de todas las iglesias y maestra de la fe, a la que vosotros, por orden de Dios, habéis consagrado con vuestra sangre. Contra la Iglesia Romana, advertísteis, se levantan maestros mentirosos que introducen sectas ruinosas y atraen sobre sí una pronta perdición. Sus lenguas son fuego, un mal inquieto, lleno de veneno mortal. Tienen celo amargo, contención en sus corazones, y se jactan y mienten contra la verdad.

• Según la tradición oral de las Brujas, una vez fuimos los sacerdotes y sacerdotisas de una religión pagana campesina. Los miembros de esta secta secreta se reunían por la noche bajo la luna llena, pues eran los "inadaptados" y los "marginados" que no encajaban en la sociedad dominante. Poco ha cambiado a lo largo de los siglos y la comunidad de la brujería sigue acogiendo a individuos frecuentemente rechazados en la sociedad mayoritaria. Entre ellos se incluyen gays, lesbianas, transexuales y otras personas con el valor de vivir sus vidas auténticamente de acuerdo con lo que son dentro de sus corazones, mentes y espíritus.

• Existe una amplia distinción entre religión y teología. La primera es una experiencia humana natural común a todas las mentes bien organizadas. La otra es un sistema de especulaciones sobre lo invisible y lo incognoscible, que la mente humana no tiene poder para comprender o explicar, y estas especulaciones varían con cada secta, edad y tipo de civilización. Nadie sabe más de lo que hay más allá de nuestra esfera de acción que tú y yo, y no sabemos nada.

• Cuando les suceden desgracias a los que disienten de nosotros en materia de religión, las llamamos juicios; cuando les suceden a los de nuestra propia secta, las llamamos pruebas; cuando les suceden a personas que no se distinguen en nada, nos contentamos con atribuirlas al curso establecido de las cosas.
