Quotes About Divine

Subtlety is one of the few forms of entertainment allowed me," the Divine said, grinning.
~ M.C.A. Hogarth
Zo is god, de god van de Heidelbergse Catechismus, de god die mensen zo intens haat dat hij keelkanker voor ze heeft uitgevonden. Zelfs mensen zijn niet in staat elkaar op zo'n laaghartige wijze te vermoorden als god kan met behulp van deze ziekte. Ook al huil ik [..] toch ben ik blij dat ik twee van zijn dienstknechten heb kunnen aftuigen.

Some persons, when they hear of the prayer of silence, falsely imagine that the soul remains stupid, dead, and inactive. But unquestionably, it acteth therein more nobly and more extensively than it had ever done before; for God himself is the mover, and the soul now acteth by the agency of His spirit.
~ Unknown
We must, however, urge it as a matter of the highest import, to cease from self-action and self-exertion, that God himself may act alone: He saith by the mouth of his prophet David: "Be still and know that I am God" (Psalm 46:10). But the creature is so infatuated with a love and attachment to its own workings, that it imagines nothing at all is done if it does not perceive and distinguish all its operations.
~ Unknown
Let this, then, be done in you; and suffer not yourself to be attached to anything, however good it may appear; it is no longer such to you, if it in any measure turns you aside from what God desires of you. For the divine will is preferable to every other good. Shake off, then, all self-interest, and live by faith and abandonment; here it is that genuine faith begins truly to operate.

~ Madeleine L'Engle
One thing I have learned, dear Sparrow, is that light is never still and solid and so it is with love. Light can be split into many directions. Its nature is to break apart. My
~ Madeleine Thien
Let me say what sorcery is not: it is not divine power, which comes with a thought and a blink. It must be made and worked, planned and searched out, dug up, dried, chopped and ground, cooked, spoken over, and sung. Even after all that, it can fail, as gods do not.
~ Madeline Miller
Surely there was some divine trick to make the hours go faster. To let them slip past unseen, to sleep for years, so that when I woke again the world would be new. I closed my eyes. Through the window I heard the bees singing in the garden. My lion's tail beat against the stones. An eternity later, when I opened my eyes, the shadows had not even moved.
~ Madeline Miller
Divine blood purified our muddy race, bred heroes from dust and clay.
~ Madeline Miller
Oceanos' palace was a great wonder, set deep in the earth's rock. Its high-arched halls were gilded, the stone floors smoothed by centuries of divine feet. Through every room ran the faint sound of Oceanos' river, source of the world's fresh waters, so dark you could not tell where it ended and the rock-bed began. On its banks grew grass and soft gray flowers,
~ Madeline Miller
Not every god need be the same, he said.
~ Madeline Miller
The truce between the gods held only because Titans and Olympians each kept to their sphere.
~ Madeline Miller
If we remove the dulling effects of the nineteen centuries that had passed, and make ourselves contemporaries with Christ and his little band of apostles, we might restore the difficulty, the trauma, the great paradox of Christ's appearance which requires us to fit together both a divine and a human nature, the creator of the universe and the babe born in a manger.
~ John D. Caputo
The concept of the polemic perhaps was at work in the biblical usage of the divine epithet "I am that I am." The God of Israel employed an originally Egyptian term for Re and Pharaoh to demonstrate that they are not sovereign and all-powerful; they do not run the universe. The name "I am that I am" truly and only belongs to the God of the Hebrews. He uniquely is the eternal, sovereign God of the universe!
~ Unknown
while I may not be able to trace the Artist's hand at all times, I can always trust his motives. The God who is in control of all things, who acts behind the scenes in all things, is also the God who willingly suffers. He is the one I can shout at, cry with and find comfort in.
~ John Dickson
Whence but from heaven, could men unskilled in arts, In several ages born, in several parts, Weave such agreeing truths? Or how, or why, Should all conspire to cheat us with a lie?
~ John Dryden
But O! what art can teach, What human voice can reach, The sacred organ's praise?
~ John Dryden
