God laughs when two brothers divide their land with a string, saying to each other, ‘This side is mine and that side is yours.’ He laughs and says to Himself, ‘The whole universe belongs to me, but they say they own this portion or that portion.’
To surrender to ignorance and call it God has always been premature, and it remains premature today.
-Issac Asimov
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.
When a man in the process of dreaming becomes conscious that he is dreaming, he is no longer identified with the phenomena; he is not affected exultantly or dolefully. God consciously dreams His cosmic play and is unaffected by its dualities.
There is only one good definition of God: the freedom that allows other freedoms to exist.
-John Fowles
"The French Lieutenant's Woman"
You were made by God and for God and until you understand that, life will never make sense.
-Rick Warren
I have found God, but he is insufficient.
-Henry Miller
"Tropic of Cancer"
There is a God-shaped vacuum in every heart.
-Blaise Pascal
Food to a large extent is what holds a society together and eating is closely linked to deep spiritual experiences.
To work without attachment is to work without the expectation of reward or fear of any punishment in this world or the next. Work so done is a means to the end, and God is the end.
-Ramakrishna Paramahamsa
