You can safely assume you've created God in your own image when it turns out that God hates all the same people you do.
-Anne Lamott
When did I realise I was God? Well, I was praying and I suddenly realised I was talking to myself.
God waits to win back his own flowers as gifts from man's hands.

You ask: what is the meaning or purpose of life? I can only answer with another question: do you think we are wise enough to read God's mind?
-Freeman Dyson
"The Meaning of Life"
Likewise the spirit helps us in our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we ought, but the spirit himself intercedes for us with sighs too deep for words. And he who searches the hearts of men knows the mind of the spirit, because the spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God.
God first created light, all men are born out of it. The whole world came out of a single spark; who is good and who is bad? The Creator is in the creation, and the creation in the Creator, He is everywhere.
Everyone has in him something divine, something his own, a chance of perfection and strength in however small a sphere which God offers him to take or refuse. The task is to find it, develop it and use it.
I cannot imagine how the clockwork of the universe can exist without a clockmaker.
-Voltaire
