“God: Check out this human I designed.Angel: Wow, that looks pretty incredible. How does it work?God: It's pretty complicated. Point to something and I'll tell you what it does.Angel: Okay. What are these?God: Teeth. They're for chewing up food.Angel: How come there are so many of them?God: I threw in, like, three or four extra. If they don't like them, they can pll them out somehow, I guess.Angel: What about this weird bag thing?God: That's the appendix.Angel: What does it do?God: It explodes.Angel: Really? That's all?God: Pretty much.Angel: What causes that to happen?God: It just happens randomly. Like you'll just be walking down the street or driving a car and boom.Angel: Geez...that's terrifying. Does it kill the person?God: (shrugs) Sometimes.”

“When [the saints] perform actions to God, then the soul says: 'Oh! that I could do what pleases God!' When they come to suffer any cross: 'Oh, that what God does might please me!' I labour to do what pleases God, and I labour that what God does shall please me: here is a Christian indeed, who shall endeavour both these. It is but one side of a Christian to endeavour to do what pleases God; you must as well endeavour to be pleased with what God does, and so you will come to be a complete Christian when you can do both, and that is the first thing in the excellence of this grace of contentment.”

“that's what God does. He moves the wind across the water or leaves it still. He can do all that. That's God doing that and He can do it on any lake that He wants to.”

“Good God, what does it matter? If life is a tragedy, or a farce, or a disaster, or anything else, what do I care! Let life be what it likes. Give me a drink, that's what I want just now.”

“You may be at odds with God right now. You're not happy with the way your life is turning out. You may be praying and pleading with God. But is it possible you don't really want God? Is it possible you just want what you think God can give you? One of the things I believe God is teaching me in my life these days is that at times we want our dreams more than we want God. We want what God does for us instead of just God.”
