„Except during my childhood, when I was probably influenced by Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel depiction of God with a flowing white beard, I have never tried to project the Creator in any kind of human likeness. The vociferous debates about whether God is male or female seem ridiculous to me.“

„All those writers who write about their own childhood! Gentle God, if I wrote about mine you wouldn't sit in the same room with me.“
— Dorothy Parker
