God Quotes

I'm not religious in the normal sense. I believe the universe is governed by the laws of science. The laws may have been decreed by God, but God does not intervene to break the laws Picture Quote #1

We shouldn't be surprised that conditions in the universe are suitable for life, but this is not evidence that the universe was designed to allow for life. We could call order by the name of God, but it would be an impersonal God. There's not much personal about the laws of physics Picture Quote #1

What I have done is to show that it is possible for the way the universe began to be determined by the laws of science. In that case, it would not be necessary to appeal to God to decide how the universe began. This doesn't prove that there is no God, only that God is not necessary Picture Quote #1

God not only plays dice, He also sometimes throws the dice where they cannot be seen Picture Quote #1

In terms of doing things I take a fairly scientific approach to why things happen and how they happen. I don't know if there's a god or not, but I think religious principles are quite valid Picture Quote #1

Perhaps some day someone will explain how, on the level of man, Auschwitz was possible; but on the level of God, it will forever remain the most disturbing of mysteries Picture Quote #1

While punishing a recalcitrant pupil he suffered; he did not allow it to show because he did not want us to think him weak. He revealed himself only to God Picture Quote #1

Do you know what laughter is? I'll tell you. It's God's mistake. When God made man in order to bend him to his wishes he carelessly gave him the gift of laughter Picture Quote #1

If God exists, how can we lay claim to freedom, since He is its beginning and its end? Picture Quote #1

Never shall I forget that night, the first night in [a concentration] camp, which has turned my life into one long night, seven times cursed and seven times sealed.... Never shall I forget those moments which murdered my God and my soul and turned my dreams to dust. Never shall I forget these things, even if I am condemned to live as long as God Himself. Never Picture Quote #1

I rarely speak about God. To God yes. I protest against Him. I shout at Him. But open discourse about the qualities of God, about the problems that God imposes, theodicy, no. And yet He is there, in silence, in filigree Picture Quote #1

I have not lost faith in God. I have moments of anger and protest. Sometimes I've been closer to him for that reason Picture Quote #1

God may be in the details, but the goddess is in the questions. Once we begin to ask them, there's no turning back Picture Quote #1

Life is the external text, the burning bush by the edge of the path from which God speaks Picture Quote #1

The metaphor is perhaps one of man's most fruitful potentialities. Its efficacy verges on magic, and it seems a tool for creation which God forgot inside one of His creatures when He made him Picture Quote #1

By the year 2000 we will, I hope, raise our children to believe in human potential, not God Picture Quote #1

I imagine that God Himself frequently wants to feel like a king. Why else would He create the world? Picture Quote #1

I'm not even sure we really had that much need for God as much as we did seem to have a need to believe in Him Picture Quote #1

Now THERE'S a hollow state to be in, isn't it - to believe in God and get no sign that He's there Picture Quote #1

No one who ever wants praise will be satisfied with praise, the person who wants love cannot be satisfied with love. No want is ever fulfilled. And therefore I still don't know whether it is better to fear God and keep His commandments or to curse God and die Picture Quote #1

I hate God and I hate life. And the closer I come to death, the more I hate life Picture Quote #1

Whether God is dead or not hardly matters, for we would use him no differently anyway Picture Quote #1

Those who believe that they believe in God, but without passion in their hearts, without anguish in mind, without uncertainty, without doubt, without an element of despair even in their consolation, believe in the God idea, not God himself Picture Quote #1

We need God, not in order to understand the why, but in order to feel and sustain the ultimate wherefore, to give a meaning to the universe Picture Quote #1

For the mockers are those who die comically, and God laughs at their comic ending, while the nobler part, the part of tragedy, is theirs who endured the mockery Picture Quote #1

Jesus said that God was not the God of the dead, but of the living. And the other life is not, in fact, thinkable to us except under the same forms as those of this Earthly and transitory life Picture Quote #1

And this God, the living God, your God, our God, is in me, is in you, lives in us, and we live and move and have our being in Him. And he is in us by virtue of the hunger, the longing, which we have for Him, He is Himself creating the longing for Himself Picture Quote #1

There is nothing truly real, save that which feels, suffers, pities, loves and desires, save consciousness. And we need God in order to save consciousness; not in order to think existence, but in order to live it; not in order to know the why and how of it, but in order to feel the wherefore of it Picture Quote #1

And thus the soul pities God and feels itself pitied by him; loves Him and feels loved by Him, sheltering its misery in the bosom of the eternal and infinite misery, which, in eternalizing itself and infinitizing itself, is the supreme happiness itself Picture Quote #1

To believe in God is to yearn for His existence and, furthermore, it is to act as if He did exist Picture Quote #1
