Gods Quotes

The gods of the realms are many and varied -- or they are the many and varied names and identities tagged onto the same being. I know not -- and care not -- which.

R.A. Salvatore

The souls of heroes are forged by the gods and tempered with the pain of life.

Brian Rathbone

The gods were great, but what good was greatness if you didn't love?

Lev Grossman

We are pagans. We deify each other.

Lara Biyuts

Thou shalt not submit thy god to market forces.

Terry Pratchett

If complete and utter chaos was lightning, then he'd be the sort to stand on a hilltop in a thunderstorm wearing wet copper armour and shouting 'All gods are bastards!

Terry Pratchett

All you Westerosi make a shame of loving. There is no shame in loving. If your septons say there is, your seven gods must be demons. In the isles we know better. Our gods gave us legs to run with, noses to smell with, hands to touch and feel. What mad cruel god would give a man eyes and tell him he must forever keep them shut, and never look at all the beauty in the world?

George R.R. Martin

We have, let us face it and admit it, little influence. We prey on them, and we take from them, and we get by; we strip and we whore and we drink too much; we pump gas and we steal and we cheat and we exist in the cracks at the edges of society. Old gods, here in this new land without gods.

Neil Gaiman

The ugly and stupid have the best of it in this world. They can sit at their ease and gape at the play. If they know nothing of victory, they are at least spared the knowledge of defeat. They live as we all should live-- undisturbed, indifferent, and without disquiet. They never bring ruin upon others, nor ever receive it from alien hands. Your rank and wealth, Henry; my brains, such as they are-- my art, whatever it may be worth; Dorian Gray's good looks-- we shall all suffer for what the gods have given us, suffer terribly.

Oscar Wilde

Every man is a divinity in disguise, a god playing the fool.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

We do not want merely to see beauty... we want something else which can hardly be put into words- to be united with the beauty we see, to pass into it, to receive it into ourselves, to bathe in it, to become part of it. That is why we have peopled air and earth and water with gods and goddesses, and nymphs and elves.

C.S. Lewis

Gods and men create one another, destroy one another, though by different means.

Tom Robbins

El amor empieza a ser un demonio desde el momento en que comienza a ser un dios.

C.S. Lewis

On the Disc the gods dealt severely with atheists.

Terry Pratchett

On the Disc, the Gods aren't so much worshipped, as they are blamed.

Terry Pratchett

the Divine Nature wounds and perhaps destroys us merely by being what it is.

C.S. Lewis

Om rubed his head. This wasn't god-like thinking. It seemed simpler when you were up here. It was all a game. You forgot that it wasn't a game down there. People died. Bits got chopped off. We're like eagles up here, he thought. Sometimes we show tortoise how to fly. Then we let go.

Terry Pratchett

It was all very well going on about pure logic and how the universe was ruled by logic and the harmony of numbers, but the plain fact of the matter was that the Disc was manifestly traversing space on the back of a giant turtle and the gods had a habit of going round to atheists' houses and smashing their windows.

Terry Pratchett

It may well be that by trickery of priests men have sometimes taken a mortal's voice for a god's. But it will not work the other way. No one who hears a god's voice takes it for a mans.

C.S. Lewis

Ideas are more difficult to kill than people, but they can be killed, in the end.

Neil Gaiman
