Far better it is for you to say: I am a sinner, than to say: I have no need of religion. The empty can be filled, but the self-intoxicated have no room for God.
-Fulton J. Sheen

Quotations
God
The soul may ask God for anything, and never fail.
-Annie Dillard
"Teaching a Stone to Talk: Expeditions and Encounters"
The artist must be in his work as God is in creation, invisible and all-powerful; his presence should be felt everywhere, but he should never be seen.
-Gustave Flaubert
We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature - trees, flowers, grass- grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence... We need silence to be able to touch souls.
-Mother Teresa
No one can be a slave of two masters. You cannot serve both God and money.
-Jesus Christ
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"
If you knew who walked beside you at all times, on the path that you have chosen, you could never experience fear or doubt again.
-Wayne W. Dyer
God is a comedian playing to an audience too afraid to laugh.
-Voltaire
The symbolism of the Goddess is not a parallel structure to the symbolism of God the Father. The Goddess does not rule the world. She is the world, manifest in each of us, she can be known internally by every individual, in all her magnificent diversity.
-Anonymous "Star hawk"
All things belong to God, as do all places. I am forever a sacrifice to God.
-Vedas "Atharva Veda"
