God is that infinite all of which man knows himself to be a finite part.
-Leo Tolstoy
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.
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?"
To uphold righteousness, so supreme an act did he perform; he gave his head, but did not utter a word of sorrow.

Holy books are an insult to a God with good intentions.
-Dejan Stojanović
When did I realise I was God? Well, I was praying and I suddenly realised I was talking to myself.
I hadn't stopped believing in God. I'd just stopped believing God cared. There might be a God, and there might be not. Either way, we're on our own.
-Cassandra Clare
"City of Bones"
And if God had not repelled some men by others, the earth would have been corrupted.
If there is a God, atheism must seem to Him as less of an insult than religion.
