Perfection is the exclusive attribute of God, and it is indescribable, untranslatable. I do believe that it is possible for human beings to become perfect, even as God is perfect. It is necessary for all of us to aspire after that perfection but when that blessed state is attained, it becomes indescribable, indefinable.
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"
God is a comedian playing to an audience too afraid to laugh.
-Voltaire
From the beginning men used God to justify the unjustifiable.
-Salman Rushdie
"The Satanic Verses"
I am Alpha and Omega, first and last, beginning and end.
God is taking a nap within my soul. I ponder whether to wake Him or not.
-Harley King
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.
Belief in a cruel God makes a cruel man.
-Thomas Paine
To you I’m an atheist. To God I’m the loyal opposition.
-Woody Allen
If you think God’s there, He is. If you don’t, He isn’t. And if that’s what God’s like, I wouldn’t worry about it.
-Haruki Murakami
"Kafka on the Shore"
