"Stray Birds"
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?"

-Gustave Flaubert
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.
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"
God is a comedian playing to an audience too afraid to laugh.
-Voltaire
What you are is God’s gift to you; what you make of it is your gift to God.
-Anthony Dalla Villa
From the beginning men used God to justify the unjustifiable.
