If only the Geologists would let me alone, I could do very well, but those dreadful Hammers! I hear the clink of them at the end of every cadence of the Bible verses
John Ruskin
Everything smaller than Heaven bores us because only Heaven is bigger than our hearts.
Peter Kreeft
I was raised thinking that moral and ethical standards are universals that apply equally to everyone. And these values aren't easily compatible with the kind of religion that posits a Creator. To my way of thinking, an omnipotent being who sets up a universe in which thinking beings proliferate, grow old, and die (usually in agony, alone, and in fear) is a cosmic sadist.
Charles Stross
All life is bound to a simple truth... that time goes on, that in each person's life begins a tale, a tale that will either end in memory or in legend.
M.J. Chrisman
And what greater might do we possess as human beings than our capacity to question and to learn?
Ann Druyan
One possibility is: God is nothing but the power of the universe to organize itself.
Lee Smolin
If you are searching for sacred knowledge and not just a palliative for your fears, then you will train yourself to be a good skeptic.
It is reasonable to love the Absolute absolutely for the same reason it is reasonable to love the relative relatively.
Theology, philosophy, metaphysics, and quantum physics are merely ways for God to have his smart people believe in him
Jeremy Aldana
It is you I foreknew and have predestined for such a time as this. Just as My heart has so eagerly chosen you, William Ore, you must also choose me.

Beyond all sciences, philosophies, theologies, and histories, a child's relentless inquiry is truly all it takes to remind us that we don't know as much as we think we know.
Criss Jami
God gives us not only the truth but also the ability to believe it; not only the new thing to see but also the new eye to see it with.
A time will come in your life, William, where your faith will be tested... and you must stay faithful to the word and vision that the All-Father has given to you.
With every morn my life afresh must breakThe crust of self, gathered about me fresh;That thy wind-spirit may rush in and shakeThe darkness out of me, and rend the meshThe spider-devils spin out of the flesh-Eager to net the soul before it wake,That it may slumberous lie, and listen to the snake.George MacDonald
George MacDonald
I am going to show you great and mighty things which no one has ever seen before.... I am going to take you places where no one has ever been. I am going to take you to heights where no one has ever reached. If you will only come to me with all your heart, I will do a mighty work in you, which no man can undo but yourself.
When man is with God in awe and love, then he is praying.
Karl Rahner
Go to heaven for the climate and hell for the company.
Mark Twain
To so many people, the Lord is in danger of being no more than a patron saint of our systematic theology instead of the Christ Who is our life.
W. Ian Thomas
The heart is like a woman, and the head is like a man, and although man is the head of woman, woman is the heart of man, and she turns man's head because she turns his heart.
