Here are the three quotes that I find interesting/insightful:
"Let us learn to dream, gentlemen, and then we may perhaps find the truth."
"We are the people who live on the roof of the world; we are the sons of
Father Sun, and with our religion we daily help our Father go across
the sky. We do this not only for ourselves, but for the whole world. If
we were to cease practising our religion, in ten years the sun would no longer rise. Then it would be night for ever."
"The search for the source of religion calls for a more general perspective, beyond individual civilizations, which must take account of the vast process of human evolution within the more general evolutionary process of life... Cultural studies must merge with general anthropology, which is ultimately integrated into biology."
The quote that I find confusing is:
"Dreams are a shield against the humdrum monotony of life; they set imagination free from its chains so that it may throw into confusion all the pictures of everyday existence and break into the unceasing gravity of grown men with the joyful play of a child."
