„Words are tears that have been written down. Tears are words that need to be shed. Without them, joy loses all its brilliance and sadness has no end.“
— Paulo Coelho
„Evolving before our eyes has been a God of the Gaps; that is, whatever it is we cannot explain lately is attributed to God.“
— Carl Sagan
„We may speak about a place where there are no tears, no death, no fear, no night; but those are just the benefits of heaven. The beauty of heaven is seeing God.“
— Max Lucado
„How wrong it is to use God as a stop-gap for the incompleteness of our knowledge. If in fact the frontiers of knowledge are being pushed further and further back (and that is bound to be the case), then God is being pushed back with them, and is therefore continually in retreat. We are to find God in what we know, not in what we don’t know.“
— Dietrich Bonhoeffer
