    Late to the party, and no offence to buddhism, but i always loved this quote from Terry Pratchett

    “Master, what is the difference between a humanistic, monastic system of belief in which wisdom is sought by means of an apparently nonsensical system of questions and answers, and a lot of mystic gibberish made up on the spur of the moment?"

    Wen considered this for some time, and at last said: “A fish!”

    And Clodpool went away, satisfied.” ― Terry Pratchett, Thief of Time

    (copies the quote from https://www.goodreads.com/work/quotes/46982-thief-of-time?page=2 but i’m rather sure its correct, so i didn’t check my copy).
