God
Aeschylus
BC 525-456 Greek Dramatist

I find it interesting that the meanest life, the poorest existence, is attributed to God s will, but as human beings become more affluent, as their living standard and style begin to ascend the material scale, God descends the scale of responsibility at a commensurate speed.
God
Angelou, Maya
1928 African-American poet Writer Performer

God
Anouilh, Jean
1910-1987 French Playwright

God
Barney, Natalie Clifford
1876-1972 American-born French Author

To place oneself in the position of God is painful: being God is equivalent to being tortured. For being God means that one is in harmony with all that is, including the worst. The existence of the worst evils is unimaginable unless God willed them.

Bonhoeffer, Dietrich
1906-1945 German Lutheran Pastor and Theologian

What preoccupies us, then, is not God as a fact of nature, but as a fabrication useful for a God-fearing society. God himself becomes not a power but an image.
God
Boorstin, Daniel J.
1914 American Historian

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!
God
Breton, Andre

Whether or not God is dead: it is impossible to keep silent about him who was there for so long.
God
Canetti, Elias
1905 Austrian Novelist Philosopher

Mother goddesses are just as silly a notion as father gods. If a revival of the myths of these cults gives woman emotional satisfaction, it does so at the price of obscuring the real conditions of life. This is why they were invented in the first place.
God
Carter, Angela
1940-1992 British Author

When I was young, I said to God, god, tell me the mystery of the universe. But God answered, that knowledge is for me alone. So I said, god, tell me the mystery of the peanut. Then God said, well, George, that s more nearly your size.

The seed of God is in us. Given an intelligent and hard-working farmer, it will thrive and grow up to God, whose seed it is; and accordingly its fruits will be God-nature. Pear seeds grow into pear trees, nut seeds into nut trees, and God-seed into God.

God
Ford, Henry
1863-1947 American Industrialist Founder of Ford Motor Company

The psychoanalysis of individual human beings, however, teaches us with quite special insistence that the god of each of them is formed in the likeness of his father, that his personal relation to God depends on his relation to his father in the flesh and oscillates and changes along with that relation, and that at bottom God is nothing other than an exalted father.
God

Haggai, John

The only way God could impose peace on the world would be to robotize our wills and rob every human being of the power of choice. He has not chosen to do that. He has given every person a free will.

God
Lawrence, D. H.
1885-1930 British Author

I cannot be a materialist -- but Oh, how is it possible that a God who speaks to all hearts can let Belgravia go laughing to a vicious luxury, and Whitechapel cursing to a filthy debauchery -- such suffering, such dreadful suffering -- and shall the short years of Christ s mission atone for it all?

Some people think that God peers over the balcony of heaven trying to find anybody who is enjoying life. And when He spots a happy person, He yells, Now cut that out! That concept of God should make us shudder because it s blasphemous!
God

Mairaux, Andre

Without doubt God is the universal moving force, but each being is moved according to the nature that God has given it. He directs angels, man, animals, brute matter, in sum all created things, but each according to its nature, and man having been created free, he is freely led. This rule is truly the eternal law and in it we must believe.
God
Maistre, Joseph De

Nietzsche, Friedrich
1844-1900 German Philosopher

Suddenly is the soul oned to God when it is truly peaced in itself: for in Him is found no wrath. And thus I saw when we are all in peace and in love, we find no contrariness, nor no manner of letting through that contrariness which is now in us.

Saavadra, Miguel de Cervantes

If we really think about it, God exists for any single individual who puts his trust in Him, not for the whole of humanity, with its laws, its organizations, and its violence. Humanity is the demon which God does not succeed in destroying.

Nothing is void of God, his work is everywhere his full of himself.
God
Seneca
4 BC – 65 AD Spanish-born Roman Statesman philosopher

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.
God

Stone, Lucy

God has marvelous ways of taking our worst tragedies and turning them into His most glorious triumphs.
God
Stowell, Joseph

It is an insult to God to believe in God. For on the one hand it is to suppose that he has perpetrated acts of incalculable cruelty. On the other hand, it is to suppose that he has perversely given his human creatures an instrument -- their intellect -- which must inevitably lead them, if they are dispassionate and honest, to deny his existence. It is tempting to conclude that if he exists, it is the atheists and agnostics that he loves best, among those with any pretensions to education. For they are the ones who have taken him most seriously.
God
Strawson, Galen

Your idol is shattered in the dust to prove that God s dust is greater than your idol.
God
Tagore, Rabindranath
1861-1941 Indian Poet Philosopher

God is infinite and without end, but the soul s desire is an abyss which cannot be filled except by a Good which is infinite; and the more ardently the soul longeth after God, the more she wills to long after him; for God is a Good without drawback, and a well of living water without bottom, and the soul is made in the image of God, and therefore it is created to know and love God.
God
Tauler, Johannes

It seems to me that the god that is commonly worshipped in civilized countries is not at all divine, though he bears a divine name, but is the overwhelming authority and respectability of mankind combined. Men reverence one another, not yet God.
God
Thoreau, Henry David

An infinite God can give all of Himself to each of His children. He does not distribute Himself that each may have a part, but to each one He gives all of Himself as fully as if there were no others.

The guarantee that our self enjoys an intended relation to the outer world is most, if not all, we ask from religion. God is the self projected onto reality by our natural and necessary optimism. He is the not-me personified.

We can only know one thing about God -- that he is what we are not. Our wretchedness alone is an image of this. The more we contemplate it, the more we contemplate him.
God
Weil, Simone
1910-1943 French Philosopher Mystic

In relation to God, we are like a thief who has burgled the house of a kindly householder and been allowed to keep some of the gold. From the point of view of the lawful owner this gold is a gift; Form the point of view of the burglar it is a theft. He must go and give it back. It is the same with our existence. We have stolen a little of God s being to make it ours. God has made us a gift of it. But we have stolen it. We must return it.
God
Weil, Simone
1910-1943 French Philosopher Mystic

In the faces of men and women I see God, and in my own face in the glass, I find letters from God dropped in the street, and every one is signed by God s name. And I leave them where they are, for I know that wherever I go, others will punctually come for ever and ever.
God
Whitman, Walt
1819-1892 American Poet

I rarely speak about God. To God, yes. I protest against Him. I shout at Him. But to open a discourse about the qualities of God, about the problems that God imposes, theodicy, no. And yet He is there, in silence, in filigree.
God
