There are gods in Alabama: Jack Daniel's, high school quarterbacks, trucks, big tits, and also Jesus.
Joshilyn Jackson
Image
The gods have their own laws. [Lat., Sunt superis sua jura.]
Ovid
Image
If I am interested, amazed, stimulated to work, that is sufficient reason to thank the gods, and go ahead!
Edward Weston
Image
No one else holds or has held the place in the heart of the world which Jesus holds. Other gods have been as devoutly worshipped no other man has been so devoutly loved.
John Knox
Image
Gods die. And when they truly die they are unmourned and unremembered. Ideas are more difficult to kill than people, but they can be killed, in the end.
Neil Gaiman
Image
I created 'The Westerner' because of anger - anger at never-miss sheriffs, always-right marshalls, whitewashed gunfighters ... anger at TV's quick-draw tin gods who stand behind a tin star or ten cents' worth of righteous anger and justify their skill and slaughter with a self-conscious grin or a minute's worth of bad philosophy.
Sam Peckinpah
Image
Our English people are much addicted to raising idols, and then revenging themselves on their own idolatry by knocking down and demolishing the poor bits of wood and stone that they had worshipped as gods. How many literary reputations have been so treated!
Mary Russell Mitford
Image
The gods, after all, are only human, and once their rage has been placated they are perfectly capable of acts of mercy and grace.
Thomas M. Disch
Image
I prove the supreme law of Gods and sky, And the primordial germs of things unfold, Whence Nature all creates, and multiplies And fosters all, and whither she resolves Each in the end when each is overthrown. This ultimate stock we have devised to name Procreant atoms, matter, seeds of things, Or primal bodies, as primal to the world.
Lucretius
Image
Youre supposed to be the leading lady in your own life, for Gods sake!
Kate Winslet
Image
You're saying the gods don't have free will. The power to make mistakes, Penny said. Only we have that. Mortals
Lev Grossman
Image
It is said that those whom the gods wish to destroy they first make mad. It may well be that a war neurosis stirred up by propaganda of fear and hatred is the prelude to destruction.
John Boyd Orr
Image
Dostoevsky believed that the gods of rationalism and materialist utilitarianism had joined in conspiracy against all other ethical systems. ... The accumulation of capital, or the acquisition of money, are endeavors par excellence which establish a quantifiable goal: hence they are directly amenable to maximization formulae.
John Carroll
Image
An atheist is just somebody who feels about Yahweh the way any decent Christian feels about Thor or Baal or the golden calf. We are all atheists about most of the gods that humanity has ever believed in. Some of us just go one god further.
Richard Dawkins
Image
They did not know her-gods are hard for mortals to recognize.
Homer
Image
I give everything to my work, and I like complex roles, characters that aren't obvious. I've been very lucky so far, and I'm dreaming of working with directors like Jane Campion, Susanne Bier and the Dardennes. But the gods will decide.
Eva Green
Image
All gods are tricksters, and war gods worst of any.
Janet Morris
Image
The gods look in pleasure on penitent sinners.
Theodor Adorno
Image
The change which the writing wrought in me (and of which I did not write) was only a beginning only to prepare me for the gods' surgery. They used my own pen to probe my wound.
C. S. Lewis
Image
The gods do not fight against necessity.
Simonides of Ceos
Image
It's compassion that makes gods of us.
Dorothy Gilman
Image
This gives the agents of the gods a powerful area of support. All they need to do is to remind their followers constantly of their mortality and to convince them that the afterlife itself is under the personal management of the particular gods they are promoting. The self-protective urges of their worshippers will do the rest.
Desmond Morris
Image
Ah yes, the gods use us mortals as footballs!
Plautus
Image
...because really, sometimes the irony gods just get drunk.
