Perfection is the exclusive attribute of God, and it is indescribable, untranslatable. I do believe that it is possible for human beings to become perfect, even as God is perfect. It is necessary for all of us to aspire after that perfection but when that blessed state is attained, it becomes indescribable, indefinable.
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"
Act always from a sense of common humanity, and let God judge if it be charity.
Been taken for granted? Imagine how God feels.
-Anonymous
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
If you have men who will exclude any of God’s creatures from the shelter of compassion and pity, you will have men who will deal likewise with their fellow men.
The essence of the offering is that it be analogous to the sin, and that a man offer to God his desires and passions, for this is more acceptable than all.
I have found God, but he is insufficient.
-Henry Miller
"Tropic of Cancer"
Listen to God with a broken heart. He is not only the doctor who mends it, but also the father who wipes away the tears.
-Criss Jami
The devotee engages to the best of his ability into the play of life, fulfilling his role on this earth as student, employee, husband, wife, parent, neighbor, and community servant. But at the heart of the devotee is a burning desire for the Lord.
