Quotes About Creation

I long for scenes where man hath never trod A place where woman never smiled or wept There to abide with my Creator, God, And sleep as I in childhood sweetly slept, Untroubling and untroubled where I lie The grass below—above the vaulted sky.
~ John Clare

~ John Connolly
The Great Malevolence had been squatting in the blackness for a very long time. He was there billions of years before people, or dinosaurs, or small, single-celled organisms that decided one day to become larger, multicelled organisms so they could, at some point in the future, invent literature, painting, and annoying ring tones for cell phones.
~ John Connolly
But the question that consumed him most was its nature, for he believed that men created gods as much, if not more, than gods created men. If this old god existed, it did so because there were men and women who permitted it to continue to exist through their beliefs. They fed it, and it, in turn, fed them.
~ John Connolly
Stories wanted to be read, David's mother would whisper. They needed it. It was the reason they forced themselves from their world into ours. They wanted us to give them life.

God's nothing more than a twelve-year-old kid with an ant farm. He's always watching, but He's never gonna do anything.

The old has gone; the new has come … a different kind of creation. The Kainos Covenant – a different kind of covenant has come. We have moved from the shadowy external law to the Law of the Spirit of Life in Christ Jesus. It is written on human hearts and we have been melded together with God in love. We have come into something that is better than Eden.
~ John Crowder
And that's the last chapter of the history of the world: in which we create, through the workings of the imagination, a world that is uncreated: that is the work of no author. A world that imagination cannot thereafter alter, not in its deepest workings and its laws, but only envision in new ways; where our elder brothers and sisters, the things, suffer our childish logomantic games with them and wait for us to grow up, and know better; where we do grow up, and do know better.
~ John Crowley
Nosotros decimos que para consolarnos por la pérdida del Paraíso Dios nos concedió sólo a nosotros entre todas sus criaturas Esperanza y Memoria. Mejor dijéramos: Sólo porque somos criaturas cargadas con Esperanza y Memoria alentamos la ilusión de un Paraíso que nosotros y solamente nosotros hemos perdido.
~ John Crowley

There is, as we shall see, a real and precise difference between the number zero and the concept of a set that posesses no members - the null, or empty set. Indeed, the second idea, pointless as it sounds, turns out to be by far the most fruitful of the two. From it, all of the rest of mathematics can be created step by step.
~ John D. Barrow
The effect of the 'time becomes space' proposal is that there is no definite moment or point of creation. In more conventional quantum mechanical terms we would say that the universe is the result of a quantum mechanical tunneling process, where it must be interpreted as having tunneled from nothing at all. Quantum tunneling processes, which are familiar to physicists and routinely observed, correspond to Transitions which do not have a classical path.
~ John D. Barrow
In the Eucharist we can find all the dimensions of communion: God communicates himself to us, we enter into communion with him, the participants of the sacrament enter into communion with one another, and creation as a whole enters through man into communion with God. All this takes place in Christ and the Spirit, who brings the last days into history and offers to the world a foretaste of the Kingdom.
~ John D. Zizioulas
Society makes. Then society rewards and punishes her handiwork.
~ JOHN DANIEL BARRY
For Jesus, we are merely stewards of Mother Earth, nonviolent people living in and tending the Creator's glorious vineyard. We are not to destroy it or one another, but live and work in peace in this glorious creation. it's time we learn the lesson, Jesus tells us, and do our part to car for the vineyard of creation.
~ John Dear
Time and memory are true artists; they remould reality nearer to the heart's desire.
~ John Dewey
Each individual that comes into the world is a new beginning; the universe itself is, as it were, taking a fresh start in him and trying to do something, even if on a small scale, that it has never done before.
~ John Dewey
I am a little world made cunninglyOf elements, and an angelic sprite.
