Don't talk to me about rules, dear. Wherever I stay I make the goddam rules.
Maria CallasAll the lessons of history in four sentences: Whom the gods would destroy, they first make mad with power. The mills of God grind slowly, but they grind exceedingly small. The bee fertilizes the flower it robs. When it is dark enough, you can see the stars.

Boris PasternakHave thy tools ready. God will find thee work.
Charles KingsleyGod is the tangential point between zero and infinity.
Alfred JarryThe common goal of 22 million Afro-Americans is respect as human beings, the God-given right to be a human being. Our common goal is to obtain the human rights that America has been denying us. We can never get civil rights in America until our human rights are first restored. We will never be recognized as citizens there until we are first recognized as humans.
Malcom XPerhaps the belief in God is the belief that the universe is intelligible, but not to us.
Thomas NagelEvery child comes with the message that God is not yet discouraged of man.
