``The eye with which I see god is the same eye with which God sees me." --Meister Eckhart
God
sometimes you just don't come through. Do you need a woman to look after you?
--Tori Amos, God
God is the name by which I designate all things which cross my willful path violently and recklessly, all things which upset my subjective views, plans and intentions and change the course of my life for better or worse.
--C.J. Jung, interviewed in Good Housekeeping
Have all gods hitherto not been such devils grown holy and been rebaptized?
--Nietsche, Beyond Good And Evil
Dreams are made up of the strange and the familiar history, like myth, is made of metaphor. They are both made of essentially aesthetic patterns. Stories are made by time encountering the gods, or the gods inventing and confronting time.
--Lynda Sexson, Ordinarily Sacred
God has been replaced, as he has all over the West, with respectability and air conditioning.
--Le Roi Jones
A philosopher asked Buddha: ``Without words, without the wordless, will you you tell me truth?"
The Buddha kept silence.
The philosopher bowed and thanked the Buddha, saying: ``With your loving kindness I have cleared away my delusions and entered the true path."
After the philosopher had gone, Ananda asked the Buddha what he had attained.
The Buddha replied, ``A good horse runs even at the shadow of the
whip."
