“When I lay these questions before God I get no answer. But a rather special sort of 'No answer'. It is not a 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.'

Can a mortal ask questions which God finds unanswerable? Quite easily, I should think. All nonsense questions are unanswerable.”
― C.S. Lewis, A Grief Observed

“The noble and enduring man replied:
"No god. Why take me for a god? No, no. I am that father whom your boyhood lacked and suffered pain for lack of. I am he.”
― Homer, The Odyssey

“Are you flesh and blood, Odysseus, to endure more than a man can? Do you never tire? God, look at you, iron is what you're made of. Here we all are, half dead with weariness, falling asleep over the oars, and you say "No landing" - no firm island earth where we could make a quiet supper. No: pull out to sea, you say, with night upon us - just as before, but wandering now, and lost.”
― Homer, The Odyssey

“For who could see the passage of a goddess unless she wished his mortal eyes aware?”
― Homer, Homer: The Odessey
