Yann Martel Quote

If you’re going to be religious, you must be either a Hindu, a Christian or a Muslim. You heard what they said on the esplanade. I don’t see why I can’t be all three. Mamaji has two passports. He’s Indian and French. Why can’t I be a Hindu, a Christian and a Muslim? That’s different. France and India are nations on earth. How many nations are there in the sky? She thought for a second. One. That’s the point. One nation, one passport. One nation in the sky? Yes. Or none. There’s that option too, you know. These are terribly old-fashioned things you’ve taken to. If there’s only one nation in the sky, shouldn’t all passports be valid for it?
