Nietzsche, Friedrich

Let none turn over books, or roam the stars in quest of God, who sees him not in man.

Heed, Wilfrid

We didn't think much in the air corps of a fellow who wangled a cushy job out of his C.O. by buttering him up.

Or perhaps she's just softening me up: she's a Baptist, she'd like me to find Jesus, or vice versa, before it's too late. That kind of thing doesn't run in her family: her mother Reenie never went in much for God. There was mutual respect, and if you were in trouble, naturally you'd call on him, as with lawyers, but as with lawyers, it would have to be bad trouble. Otherwise it didn't pay to get too mixed up with him.

Margaret Atwood

Real Live Preacher

39.

To speak of God, to think of God, is in every respect to show what one is made of. I have always wagered against God and I regard the little that I have won in this world as simply the outcome of this bet. However paltry may have been the stake (my life) I am conscious of having won to the full. Everything that is doddering, squint-eyed, vile, polluted and grotesque is summoned up for me in that one word: God!

Breton, Andre

Nothing is void of God, his work is everywhere his full of himself.

Seneca

48.

To me the sole hope of human salvation lies in teaching Man to regard himself as an experiment in the realization of God, to regard his hands as God's hand, his brain as God's brain, his purpose as God's purpose. He must regard God as a helpless Longing, which longed him into existence by its desperate need for an executive organ.

Shaw, George Bernard

O'Neill, Eugene
