― Sevinc Abbasova, The Snowflake He Didn't Paint

“Although the detail of the formation of the American governments is at present little known or regarded either in Europe or America, it may hereafter become an object of curiosity. It will never be pretended that any persons employed in that service had interviews with the gods, or were in any degree under the inspiration of heaven, more than those at work upon ships or houses, or laboring in merchandize or agriculture; it will forever be acknowledged that these governments were contrived merely by the use of reason and the senses.”
― John Adams, A Defence of the Constitutions of Government of the United States of America

“I am very sensible what a weakness and presumption it is, to reason against the general humor and disposition of the world.”
― Jonathan Swift

“She strangely knew a lot of literature and used such aphorisms to
explain me the agony of her heart at times. She has always been
telling me to read now and then. Certainly remaining a fanatic
about two things: God and Books.
I refused them both”
― Miramoon

“How did you know He was God?’ Gamache asked. ‘When does a bush that burns become a Burning Bush?’ Em asked.”

“The Wise Man's Never Alone

The wise man’s never alone; if no one walks with him,
He has for company the master of all things. (242)”
― Angelus Silesius, The Cherubinic Wanderer

― Robin Williams

“It is not wholly true, and it is not perfectly ‘theocentric’. It takes, or at any rate has in the past taken, the young man’s eyes off women as they are, as companions in shipwreck not guiding stars. (One result is for observation of the actual to make the young man turn cynical.) To forget their desires, needs and temptations. It inculcates exaggerated notions of ‘true love’, as a fire from without, a permanent exaltation, unrelated to age, childbearing, and plain life, and unrelated to will and purpose. (One result of that is to make young folk look for a ‘love’ that will keep them always nice and warm in a cold world, without any effort of theirs; and the incurably romantic go on looking even in the squalor of the divorce courts).”
― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Letters of J.R.R. Tolkien

“Prayer is not about the accuracy of the ritual, but about offering up one’s heart. It is not that God, or the world, needs one’s heart, but that we need to be able to offer… Prayer is the moment when we agree not to hide...

Sometimes I am surprised at what wells up inside me [when I pray]. I ask for things I did not know I wanted. I pray in words I am surprised are mine. I feel embarrassed, and then ask myself, before whom am I embarrassed? Myself? Surely not before God to whom I am saying nothing unknown.”
― David J. Wolpe, Making Loss Matter

“Whoever always does good has a personal experience with God.”
― Eleno Carvalho

“It wasn't God who liked sacrifices, it was the priests who liked meat”
― Eleno Carvalho

“মনে হয় সৃষ্টির গভীরতম কারণটা ঈশ্বর মানুষের কাছ থেকে চিরদিনের জন্য আড়াল করে রেখেছেন। সে রহস্য জানতে পারলে সৃষ্টির আর কোনও সার্থকতা থাকবে না। গোলকধাম খেলেছ তো? সেই যে কড়ি চেলে, কাগজে ছাপা ছকের ওপর গুটি এগিয়ে নিয়ে খেলা। জন্ম থেকে শুরু হয়ে বিদ্যালয়, কর্মক্ষেত্র, আদালত, পতিতালয়, শৌণ্ডিকালয়, মন্দির ইত্যাদির খোপে আঁকা ঘর পেরিয়ে খেলুড়েকে একটু একটু করে ওপরে উঠতে হয়। সবচেয়ে ওপরের খোপের নাম হচ্ছে গোলকধাম। সেখানে পৌছলেই খেলা শেষ। তারপর ছক আর গুটি তুলে ফেলা ছাড়া আর কিছু করার থাকে না। আমাদের জীবনও তাই। সবকিছু জেনে ফেললেই খেলা শেষ। সেটা ভগবান চান না। তা একদিক থেকে ভালই, খেলা চলছে চলুক না।”
― Taradas Bandyopadhyay, তারানাথ তান্ত্রিক সমগ্র

“the destruction of the God-image is followed by the annulment of the human personality. Materialistic atheism with its Utopian chimeras forms the religion of all those rationalistic movements which delegate the freedom of personality to the masses and thereby extinguish it.”
― C.G.Jung, Aion: Researches Into the Phenomenology of the Self (Collected Works of C. G. Jung) by C.G. Jung (5-Sep-1991) Paperback

“সরল বিশ্বাসের মূল্য তার সারল্যেই। কিছু পাব বলে আমরা ঈশ্বরে বিশ্বাস করি না, ঈশ্বরে বিশ্বাস করতে ভাল লাগে বলেই তা করি। যদি কেউ অন্যরকম করে, তবে তা দোকানদারি। বাবার সম্পত্তি পাব, তাই বাবাকে ভালবাসি-এ কেমন কথা?”
― Taradas Bandyopadhyay, তারানাথ তান্ত্রিক সমগ্র

“If God is supposed to be merciful." he retorted, "I don't see why He shouldn't allow people to stumble into heaven, just as well as climb there.”
― T.H. White, The Once and Future King

“Maybe you don’t believe God wants you to be happy? God, your mother, poetry, whatever. What makes you so special that everyone else deserves that except you?”
― Kaveh Akbar, Martyr!

“He was a man. All those years without a woman. Could she adult him for being the way God had created him?”
― Khaled Hosseini, A Thousand Splendid Suns

“She remembered a verse from the Koran that Mullah Faizullah had taught her: And Allah is the East and the West, therefore wherever you turn there is Allah's purpose... She laid down her prayer rug and did name. When she was done, she cupped her hands before her face and asked God not to let all this good fortune slip away from her.”
― Khaled Hosseini, A Thousand Splendid Suns

“Where was Christ when that poor girl and her brother were being cut to pieces last night?
Watching, in the sorrow you see there in his face, as men used the free will God gave them to do terrible evil.”
― C.J. Sansom, Dark Fire

“Something as subtle as scent pushes through me and I drown, for an instant, in the beauty. It's awe, as thoughtless as joy. not my joy, but Joy. Joy that is and will be whether I am here to sense it or not. And for a breath, for only a moment, I believe this Joy to be the true nature of all that is. I would believe this world has no meaning, no soul. But I see this sky and taste this air and I held my child and I watched him cry his first breath. If the universe is nothing but rock and fire and the rules of physics, why does it hurt up and down and as far as it stretches?
If I am being punished- God, Father, Mother, All- if I am being punished, let me see my sin. Please. Let me see this somehow makes sense and the world is not just stone and death at its heart.”
― Owen Egerton, Hollow

“I remember walking away from that moment thinking, I never want my fear to stop someone else’s God encounter.”

― Nkwachukwu Ogbuagu

“In the moments when all hell is breaking loose, when it seems like the world is crashing down and things are blowing up in your face, the absolute worst thing you can do is think to yourself, Well, this can’t possibly get any worse, because God or Whoever is watching over us will hear your thought and say, “Aha! You shouldn’t have thought that, you stupid mortal! I am about to fuck up your day a whole lot more!”
― T.J. Klune, The Art of Breathing

“He just wanted a taste. God, he would trade eternity for a taste.”
― Beckett Krane, Chapel at Ender's Ridge

“When God wants to test us, he sometimes takes away what we are craving the most. For reasons only he knows, he deprives us of our most beloved dreams. I believe that all people experience a time when they go to Calvary and carry the cross."
"My cross is the worst! It’s not made of wood but of the heaviest metal!"
"All people believe that their own cross is the heaviest. The only thing that makes them feel better is looking at the suffering of others—seeing the pain of their fellow man. We all need to evaluate our old life and see how we have sinned and made God send us trials.”
― A.I. Smith

“I am divinely protected. Even the evil eye knows to bow when it sees who walks with me.”
― Marion Bekoe

“I always trust God's choices for me, even if they seem painful at the time — for certainty comes at the right moment. As for people, there is no safety in their hearts, nor trust in their fickleness.”
― Khaled Ibrahim
