The gods rule us still. They have come down from the stars. And they are no longer kind.
So man’s insanity is heaven’s sense; and wandering from all mortal reason, man comes at last to that celestial thought, which, to reason, is absurd and frantic; and weal or woe, feels then uncompromised, indifferent as his God.
Science is the Tree of Death. Art is the Tree of Life. God is Jesus.
Man cannot really help the world. God alone does that.
It would be very nice if there were a God who created the world and was a benevolent Providence, and if there were a moral order in the universe and an after-life; but it is a very striking fact that all this is exactly as we are bound to wish it to be.[Es wäre ja sehr schön, wenn es einen Gott gäbe als Weltenschöpfer und gütige Vorsehung, eine sittliche Weltordnung und ein jenseitiges Leben, aber es ist doch sehr auffällig, daß dies alles so ist wie wir es uns wünschen müssen.]
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.
I’m still a long way from being what I’d like to be, but with God’s help I’ll succeed.[Wat ik zou willen zijn ben ik nog lang niet maar met Gods hulp zal het lukken.]
I’m always inclined to believe that the best way of knowing God is to love a great deal.[Je suis toujours porté à croire que le meilleur moyen pour connaître Dieu, c’est d’aimer beaucoup.]
I think it pi**es God off if you walk by the color purple in a field somewhere and don’t notice it.
Great thoughts and a pure heart, that is what we should ask from God.
God spoke to you by so many voices, but you would not hear.
God sent me on earth. He send me to do something, and nobody can stop me. If God want to stop me, then I stop. Man never can.
