He who created us without our help will not save us without our consent.
-Saint Augustine of Hippo
The cycle of God, the good, is broken by a single act of negativity. The cycle of negativity is stopped by choosing the good.
God often visits us, but most of the time we are not at home.
-Joseph Roux
"Meditations of a Parish Priest”"
It is difficult to discuss the beginning of the Universe without mentioning the concept of God… It is quite possible that God acts in ways that cannot be described by scientific laws. But in that case one would just have to go by personal belief.
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 soul may ask God for anything, and never fail.
-Annie Dillard
"Teaching a Stone to Talk: Expeditions and Encounters"
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"
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"
God has no marks, colour, caste, and no ancestors, no form, complexion, outline, costume and is indescribable. He is fearless, luminous and measureless in might. He is the king of kings, the Lord of the prophets. He is the sovereign of the universe, gods, men and demons. The woods and dales sing the indescribable. O Lord, none can tell Thy names. The wise count your blessings to coin your names.
