Gods Quotes

He seemed to be talking about my fears, my insecurity, and my unwillingness to see what was wonderful because tomorrow it might disappear and I might suffer. The gods throw the dice, and they don’t ask whether we want to be in the game or not Picture Quote #1

Very depressed today. Unable to write a thing. Menacing gods. I feel outcast on a cold star, unable to feel anything but an awful helpless numbness Picture Quote #1

We were romantics. We didn’t just read poetry. We let it drip from our tongues like honey. Spirits soared. Women swooned, and gods were created, gentlemen. Not a bad way to spend an evening, eh? Picture Quote #1

We need not take refuge in supernatural gods to explain our saints and sages and heroes and statesmen, as if to explain our disbelief that mere unaided human beings could be that good or wise Picture Quote #1

Again, truth should be highly valued; if, as we were saying, a lie is useless to the gods, and useful only as a medicine to men, then the use of such medicines should be restricted to physicians; private individuals have no business with them Picture Quote #1

In front of excellence, the immortal gods have put sweat, and long and steep is the way to it Picture Quote #1

The gods created certain kinds of beings to replenish our bodies... they are the trees and the plants and the seeds Picture Quote #1

The point which I should first wish to understand is whether the pious or holy is beloved by the gods because it is holy, or holy because it is beloved of the gods Picture Quote #1

Speak the truth do not become angered and give when asked, even be it a little. By these three conditions one goes to the presence of the gods Picture Quote #1

The natural function of the wing is to soar upwards and carry that which is heavy up to the place where dwells the race of gods. More than any other thing that pertains to the body it partakes of the nature of the divine Picture Quote #1

We can make ourselves whole only by accepting our partiality, by living within our limits, by being humans not by trying to be gods Picture Quote #1

Our souls are but leaves in a storm, and only the gods know where we will come to rest Picture Quote #1

Ever the words of the gods resound; But the porches of man’s ear seldom in this low life’s round are unsealed, that he may hear Picture Quote #1

If lightning is the anger of the gods, then the gods are concerned mostly about trees Picture Quote #1

How wealthy the gods would be if we remembered the promises we made when we were in danger Picture Quote #1

Christ demands first place. There’s no room on the throne of your heart for two gods Picture Quote #1

Any object, intensely regarded, may be a gate of access to the incorruptible eons of the gods Picture Quote #1

When a man is at peace with his gods and ancestors, his harvest will be good or bad according to the strength of his arm Picture Quote #1

Put away your gods and come and worship ours, or we will kill you and your gods! Picture Quote #1

Gods plan isn’t a map for your life that you see all at once, but a scroll unrolled a little at a time Picture Quote #1

The gods should certainly be revered, but kept at a distance... The way is not beyond man; he who creates a way outside of man cannot make it a true way. A good man is content with changing man, and that is enough for him Picture Quote #1

We humans are here because nothing can be perfect. There always have to be some living things that are unsatisfied, itchy, trying too hard. If it was all just animals and rocks and lettuce, the gods wouldn’t feel like they had enough to do Picture Quote #1

Gods induction, life’s construction, these instruct will save every living thing. Can’t you see that life’s connected? Picture Quote #1

Mother goddesses are just as silly a notion as father gods. If a revival of the myths of these cults gives woman emotional satisfaction, it does so at the price of obscuring the real conditions of life. This is why they were invented in the first place Picture Quote #1

To me a book is a message from the gods to mankind; or, if not, should never be published at all. A message from the gods should be delivered at once. It is damnably blasphemous to talk about the autumn season and so on. How dare the author or publisher demand a price for doing his duty, the highest and most honorable to which a man can be called? Picture Quote #1

It is not the rich man you should properly call happy, but him who knows how to use with wisdom the blessings of the gods, to endure hard poverty, and who fears dishonor worse than death, and is not afraid to die for cherished friends or fatherland Picture Quote #1

You couldn’t get hold of the things you’d done and turn them right again. Such a power might be given to the gods, but it was not given to women and men, and that was probably a good thing. Had it been otherwise, people would probably die of old age still trying to rewrite their teens Picture Quote #1

Remember how often you have postponed minding your interest, and let slip those opportunities the gods have given you. It is now high time to consider what sort of world you are part of, and from what kind of governor of it you are descended; that you have a set period assigned you to act in, and unless you improve it to brighten and compose your thoughts, it will quickly run off with you, and be lost beyond recovery Picture Quote #1

Destiny is an absolutely definite and inexorable ruler. Physical ability and moral determination count for nothing. It is impossible to perform the simplest act when the gods say no. I have no idea how they bring pressure to bear on such occasions; I only know that it is irresistible Picture Quote #1
