The artist must be in his work as God is in creation, invisible and all-powerful; his presence should be felt everywhere, but he should never be seen.
-Gustave Flaubert

God provideth every one with his daily food; why, O man, art thou immersed planning; He putteth their food even before the insects which He created in rocks and stones.
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"
In order to know who you are you need to know who God is.
-Annette Hoggs Jackson
If it be true that spirit is involved in Matter…then manifestation in the divine in himself and the realisation of God within and without are the highest and most legitimate aims possible to man on earth.
I think the reason we sometimes have the false sense that God is so far away is because that is where we have put him. We have kept him at a distance, and then when we are in need and call on him in prayer, we wonder where he is. He is exactly where we left him.
-Ravi Zacharias
"Has Christianity Failed You?"
I do not believe in God and I am not an atheist.

"Notebooks 1951-1959"
Before leading your life depending upon God, just check, does he really have
the authority to be partial and do any good for you?
-Deep Trivedi
In this world, there are only two kinds of people who can be happy and successful.
One, who believe that God is almighty...then whatever good - bad, sin - virtue,
all is happening as per his will; the matter ends. Second, who believe that God
doesn't exist at all and take up all their responsibilities by themselves, again the
matter ends. But since all of us are stuck hanging between the two, we end up
being sad and unsuccessful.
-Deep Trivedi
Holy books are an insult to a God with good intentions.
