“Maybe God created the desert so that man could appreciate the date trees”

“God loved birds and created trees. Man loved birds and made cages.”

“It is said that God has created man in his own image. But it may be that humankind has created God in the image of humankind.”

“The problem of reconciling human suffering with the existence of a God who loves, is only insoluble so long as we attach a trivial meaning to the word "love", and look on things as if man were the centre of them. Man is not the centre. God does not exist for the sake of man. Man does not exist for his own sake. "Thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created." We were made not primarily that we may love God (though we were made for that too) but that God may love us, that we may become objects in which the divine love may rest "well pleased".”

“God could not be everywhere, so he created mothers.”
