God's hell is His love for humanity, because human behaviour makes every second of His eternal life a torment
Paulo Coelho, The Devil and Miss Prym
Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing, there is a field. I will meet you there.
Jalal ad-Din Rumi
A subject for a great poet would be God's boredom after the seventh day of creation.
Friedrich Nietzsche
If God listened to the prayers of men, all men would quickly have perished: for they are forever praying for evil against one another.
Epicurus
When men are inhuman, take care not to feel towards them as they do towards other humans.
Marcus Aurelius
All the people of all the nations which had fought in the First World War were silent during the eleventh minute of the eleventh hour of Armistice Day, which was the eleventh day of the eleventh month. It was during that minute in nineteen hundred and eighteen, that millions upon millions of human beings stopped butchering one another. I have talked to old men who were on battlefields during that minute. They have told me in one way or another that the sudden silence was the Voice of God. So we still have among us some men who can remember when God spoke clearly to mankind.
Kurt Vonnegut
As Jesus rode his donkey, ride on it -
Let Jesus spotless spirit be your goal.
Attar (12th century)
