Tom Robbins
“The Divine was beyond description, beyond knowing, beyond comprehension. To say that the Divine was Creation divided by Destruction was as close as one could come to definition. But the puny of soul, the dull of wit, weren't content with that. They wanted to hang a face on the Divine. They went so far as to attribute petty human emotions (anger, jealousy, etc) to it, not stopping to realize that if God were a being, even a supreme being, our prayers would have bored him to death long ago.”
― Tom Robbins, Skinny Legs and All

C.S. Lewis
“When I lay these questions before God I get no answer. But a rather special sort of 'No answer.' It is not the locked door. It is more like a silent, certainly not uncompassionate, gaze. As though He shook His head not in refusal but waiving the question. Like, 'Peace, child; you don't understand.”
― C.S. Lewis

Nick Bantock
“It is pointless to be any less than all you can be.”
― Nick Bantock, The Morning Star: In Which the Extraordinary Correspondence of Griffin & Sabine is Illuminated

Tom Robbins
“I mean that gods do not limit men. Men limit men.”
― Tom Robbins, Jitterbug Perfume

Tom Robbins
“The Divine was expansive, but religion was reductive. Religion attempted to reduce the Divine to a knowable quantity with which mortals might efficiently deal, to pigeonhole it once and for all so that we never had to reevaluate it. With hammers of cant and spikes of dogma, we crucified and crucified again, trying to nail to our stationary altars the migratory light of the world.”
― Tom Robbins, Skinny Legs and All
