You ought to be ashamed, a woman in an Easter bonnet told Stein. Your race gave us our religion... From ancient polytheism, the belief in lots of gods, the woman continued a little more eruditely, the Hebrew nation led us on to the idea that there is only one. Which is just a step from the truth, said Stein.
Peter De Vries

I’m an executioner, Leta, hence my Demon nickname. They send me in to take the heads off people and gods who’ve stepped over the line, usually only because someone has PMS. You want justice, Themis’s office is down the hall on the left. You want death and dismemberment, I’m your man…or rather god. (Deimos)
Sherrilyn Kenyon

Thus a man was born into a fixed relation to certain gods as surely as he was born into a relation to his fellow-men and his religion... was simply one side of the general scheme of conduct prescribed for him by his position as a member of society.
William Robertson Smith

I had been brought up and trained to have the utmost contempt for people who got drunk - and I would have liked to have the boozing scholars of the Universities wheeled into line and properly chastised for their squalid misuse of what I must ever regard as a gift of the gods.
Winston Churchill
Image
The sign work of the Orient it runneth up and down The Talmud stalks from right to left, a rabbi in a gown The Roman rolls from left to right from Maytime unto May But the gods shake up their symbols in an absent-minded way. Their language runs to circles like the language of the eyes, Emphasised by strange dilations with little panting sighs.
Nathalia Crane
Image
Do not interrogate silence because silence is mute do not expect anything from the gods, nor should you try to bribe them with gifts, because it is in ourselves that we must look for liberation.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Beloved Pan and all ye other gods who haunt this place, give me beauty in the inward soul and may the outward and the inward man be one.
Socrates
Image
Weariness that wants to reach the ultimate with one leap, with one fatal leap, a poor ignorant weariness that does not want to want any more: this created all gods and afterworlds.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Gods always behave like the people who make them.
Zora Neale Hurston

It is fear that first brought gods into the world.
Petronius

The love of books is among the choicest gifts of the gods.
Arthur Conan Doyle

Meantime, when once we know from nothing still Nothing can be create, we shall divine More clearly what we seek: those elements From which alone all things created are, And how accomplished by no tool of Gods.
Lucretius
Image
Man invented the gods. Then the gods went off on their own, but not far.
Mason Cooley
Image
The only-begotten Son of God, wanting to make us sharers in His divinity, assumed our nature, so that He, made man, might make men gods.
Thomas Aquinas

Live and lie reclined On the hills like Gods together, careless of mankind. For they lie beside their nectar, and the bolts are hurled Far below them in the valleys, and the clouds are lightly curled Round their golden houses, girdled with the gleaming world.
Alfred Lord Tennyson
Image
They are enlightened who join in this play knowing it as play, for people suffer only because they take as serious what the gods made for fun.
Alan Watts
Image
Before Keto could notice, Hedge pointed towards the top of the amphitheater. It looked like he might be screaming, Gods of Olympus, what is that? Keto turned. Coach Hedge promptly took off his fake foot and ninja-kicked her in the back of the head with his goat hoof.
Rick Riordan
Image
When gods die, they always die many sorts of death.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
ALL religions of a spiritual nature are inventions of man. He has created an entire system of gods with nothing more than his carnal brain. Just because he has an ego, and cannot accept it, he has to externalize it into some great spiritual device which he calls God.
Anton Szandor LaVey
Image
Nico danced around like he needed to use the restroom. Does Zeus really have lightning bolts that do six hundred damage? Does he get extra movement points for— Nico, shut up! Bianca put her hands to her face. This is not your stupid Mythomagic game, okay? There are no gods!
