I sometimes think that God in creating man somewhat overestimated his ability.

God created man, but I could do better.

The divine is perhaps that quality in man which permits him to endure the lack of God.

For it pleased God, after he had made all things by the word of his power, to create man after his own image.

God seeth different abilities and frailties of men, which may move His goodness to be merciful to their different improvements in virtue.

We live at a time when man believes himself fabulously capable of creation, but he does not know what to create.

I wondered a little why God was such a useless thing. It seemed a waste of time to have him. After that he became less and less, until he was... nothingness.

I cannot imagine a God who rewards and punishes the objects of his creation and is but a reflection of human frailty.

God... a being whose only definition is that he is beyond man's power to conceive.

In view of the fact that God limited the intelligence of man, it seems unfair that He did not also limit his stupidity.
