Gods Quotes

Believe me, the gods spare the afflicted, and do not always oppress those who are unfortunate Picture Quote #1

To me a book is a message from the gods to mankind; or, if not, should never be published at all Picture Quote #1

The gods have chosen to entertain me with chronic eyestrain headaches. Very poisonous episodes. So I don’t do a lot of reading anymore except on tape Picture Quote #1

This is the deal: we are happy to single out people as superior just as long as they don’t accept the description themselves. We want heroes and idols, but we also want egalitarianism, and that requires proclamations of humility from our gods Picture Quote #1

Gods suppressed become devils, and often it is these devils whom we first encounter when we turn inward Picture Quote #1

To absent friends, lost loves, old gods, and the season of mists; and may each and every one of us always give the devil his due Picture Quote #1

Life is made of our attitudes. And there are certain things that the gods oblige us to live through. Their reason for this does not matter, and there is no action we can take to make them pass us by Picture Quote #1

The gods are strange. It is not our vices only they make instruments to scourge us. They bring us to ruin through what in us is good, gentle, humane, loving Picture Quote #1

We’ve all been raised on television to believe that one day we’d all be millionaires, and movie gods, and rock stars. But we won’t. And we’re slowly learning that fact. And we’re very, very pissed off Picture Quote #1

Ah how shameless – the way these mortals blame the gods. From us alone they say come all their miseries yes but they themselves with their own reckless ways compound their pains beyond their proper share Picture Quote #1

Human beings do not like being pushed about by gods. They may seem to, on the surface, but somewhere on the inside, underneath it all, they sense it, and they resent it Picture Quote #1

Think not to match yourself against the gods, for men that walk the earth cannot hold their own with the immortals Picture Quote #1

The point is always reached after which the gods no longer share their lives with mortal men and women, they die or wither away or retire... Now that they’ve gone, the high drama’s over. What remains is ordinary human life Picture Quote #1

If I am the pawn of the gods, it is because they know me so well, not because they make my mind up for me Picture Quote #1

If you are going to try, go all the way or don’t even start. If you follow it you will be alive with the gods. It is the only good fight there is Picture Quote #1

Life is loneliness, broken only by the gods taunting us with friendship and the odd bonk Picture Quote #1

Truth is for the gods; from our human point of view, it is an ideal, towards which we can approximate, but which we cannot hope to reach Picture Quote #1

No one stands on the top of the world. Not you, not me, not even gods. But the unbearable vacancy of the throne in the sky is over. From now on... I will be sitting on it Picture Quote #1

Sometimes the best of gods gift’s arrive by the shattering of all the window panes Picture Quote #1

The wood nymph instructors left me in the dust. They told me not to worry about it. They’d had centuries of practice running away from lovesick gods. But still, it was a little humiliating to be slower than a tree Picture Quote #1

Isn’t it also that on some fundamental level we find it difficult to understand that other people are human beings in the same way that we are? We idealize them as gods or dismiss them as animals Picture Quote #1

This wasn’t prayer anyway, it was just argument with the gods. Prayer, he suspected as he hoisted himself up and turned for the door, was putting one foot in front of the other. Moving all the same Picture Quote #1

We are not philosophers, we are sovereigns. The rules that govern our behavior are not the rules for other men, and our honor, I think, is a different thing entirely, difficult for anyone but the historians and the gods to judge Picture Quote #1

The gods are just. No doubt. But their code of law is dictated, in the last resort, by the people who organize society; Providence takes its cue from men Picture Quote #1

Many religions have attempted to make statues of their gods very large, and the idea, I suppose, is to make us feel small. But if that’s their purpose, they can keep their paltry icons. We need only look up if we wish to feel small Picture Quote #1

The gods throw the dice and they don’t ask whether we want to be in the game or not Picture Quote #1

Gods play games with the fates of men. But first they have to get all the pieces on the board and look all over the place for the dice Picture Quote #1

The gods do make playthings of us... but it is we mortals who provide them with the tools Picture Quote #1
