The Gods gave a microbe a drop of water, and in it he lived. They gave an ant a half acre of land, and he prospered. They gave a tiger the forest and he formed an empire and became an emperor. They gave man the Universe and all the knowledge therein. He entered of his own free will the dungeon of Dogma, shut his mind to truth and slew and starved his brothers.
In the name of God, stop a moment, cease your work and look around you.
-Leo Tolstoy
People who cease to believe in God or goodness altogether still believe in the devil... Evil is always possible. And goodness is eternally difficult.
-Anne Rice
"Interview with the Vampire"
All God does is watch us and kill us when we get boring. We must never, ever be boring.
-Charles Michael "Chuck" Palahniuk
"Invisible Monsters"
God created man incorruptible, and made him in the image of his own nature, but through the devil’s envy, death came into the world.
When the solution is simple, God is answering.
-Albert Einstein
We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature - trees, flowers, grass- grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence... We need silence to be able to touch souls.
-Mother Teresa
What do you think of God, the teacher asked. After a pause, the young pupil replied, He's not a think, he's a feel.
-Paul Frost
How tired God must be of guilt and loneliness, for that is all we ever bring to Him.
-Mignon McLaughlin
"The Neurotic's Notebook, 1960"
Some call on the Lord, “Rama”, some cry, “Khuda”, Some bow to Him as Gosain, some as Allah; He is called the Ground of Grounds and also the Bountiful, The Compassionate One and Gracious.
