God Complex Quotes

“Animals. Let them burn, then. Let the streets be filled with the smell of their sacrifice. Let this place be called racca, ichabod, wormwood.

Flex

And power transformers atop lightpoles bloomed into nacreous purple light, spitting catherine-wheel sparks. High-tension wires fell into the streets in pick-up-sticks tangles...”

“I write because writing is power. Writing is creation. When you write, you are as a god, a deity wielding his pen like some Harry Potter staff, making whatever you want to happen, happen. By sheer force of will and some clever word placement, I can arrange all of these little symbols together to invoke emotions and ideas at a whim out of whosoever allows me to cast my spell. It does not take a man and a woman to create. It just takes a writer.”
― Jonathan Culver

“Who told you that everything you think is right? When did you realise that everything you believe is set in stone? Can you choose the correct answer from below? Pick the right feeling – the right answer!
| 4 + 4 = 8 | 2 × 4 = 8 | 6 + 2 = 8 | 3 + 5 = 8 |
They are all correct, aren’t they? So how can you feel that everything you know is the correct answer to life and, thus, you are validated to play God?”

“Missing God Complex
(The Sonnet)

Usually I write and release one book a month,
But World War Human took me several months.
An accident turned the world upside down for
my family - the fearless legend was briefly lost.

When I wrote, how does the bird come and go, I had
no inkling that it'd come true in a couple of months.
I felt the helplessness of my pathless dropout years,
For the first time in over a decade I felt defeatist.

Month-long grovelling to doctors left me suffering
with inferiority complex, wallowing in self-pity.
For a brief while I was actually rendered useless,
I honestly lost my link with the rest of humanity.

So I did what I hadn't done in a long time,
I reverted back to my origin of mission.
In his memory I reawakened to my promise,
I got reignited with my natural divine vision.

Finally I reclaimed my innate God complex,
the usual invincibility to outside influence.
I returned to life galvanized a thousand folds,
Tragedy does nothing but amply my omnipotence.”
― Abhijit Naskar, The Divine Refugee

“L'amore è qualcosa di straordinario. Non potete amare se state pensando a voi stessi - e questo non vuol dire che dovete pensare a qualcun altro. L'amore è, non ha oggetto. La mente che ama è realmente una mente reli-giosa perché sta all'interno del movimento della realtà, della verità, di Dio, ed è solo una simile mente quella che può sapere che cosa sia la bellezza. La mente che non è prigioniera di alcuna filosofia, che non è rinchiusa in nessun sistema o fede, che non è spinta dalle proprie ambizioni e perciò è sensibile, attenta, osservatrice, essa possiede la bellezza.”
― Samya Ilaria Di Donato, I colori del cambiamento: Un viaggio verso noi stessi e le nostre scintille interiori
