“We may be surprised at the people we find in heaven. God has a soft spot for sinners. His standards are quite low.”
Bishop Desmond Tutu
“I don't like to commit myself about heaven and hell - you see, I have friends in both places”
Mark Twain
“There is no God, no universe, no human race, no earthly life, no heaven, no hell. It is all a dream, a grotesque and foolish dream. Nothing exists but you. And you are but a thought --a vagrant thought, a useless thought, a homeless thought, wandering forlorn among the empty eternities!”
“Conversation"God and I in space alone . . .and nobody else in view . . ."And where are all the people,Oh Lord" I said, "the earth below and the sky overheadand the dead that I once knew?""That was a dream," God smiledand said: "The dream that seemed tobe true; there were no peopleliving or dead; there was no earth, and no sky overhead,there was only myself in you.""Why do I feel no fear?" I asked,"meeting you here in this way?For I have sinned, I know full welland is there heaven and is there hell,and is this Judgement Day?""Nay, those were but dreams" the Great God said, "dreams that have ceased to be.There are no such things as fear and sin;there is no you . . . you never have been.There is nothing at all but me.”
Ella Wheeler Wilcox
“I can see how it might be possible for a man to look down upon the earth and be an atheist, but I cannot conceive how he could look up into the heavens and say there is no God.”
Abraham Lincoln
“I cannot believe in a God who wants to be praised all the time.”
Friedrich Nietzsche
“No man ever saw God and lived. And yet, I shall not live till I see God; and when I have seen him, I shall never die.”
John Donne
