Famous quotes with Deus

  • Quando você está andando na estrada que é pavimentada com tijolos dourados de boas intenções, lembre-se que ele pode acabar onde você nunca gostaria de entrar -, porque as boas intenções muitas vezes vêm com imprevistos não tão boas consequências inesperadas. Então você tem que estar alerta, em todos os momentos. Fortalecer suas boas intenções com boas ações, e Deus sempre estará com você em sua viagem ao seu destino desejado. Cheerio, meu amigo.
    Deodatta V. Shenai-Khatkhate
  • We want God to come and save us. But he won't. God doesn't stop levees from failing, he doesn't stay the force of tsunamis, and he doesn't stop planes from smashing into buildings. Deus Ex Machina is overrated.

  • Amicus scientia est amicus Deus: Friend of science is the friend of God!

  • Where is my daddy? asked the emerald. My da? Moll dropped a glass, which shattered. Your father. Yes, said the emerald, amn’t I supposed to have one? He’s not here. Noticed that, said the emerald. I’m never sure what you know and what you don’t know. I ask in true perplexity. He was Deus Lunus. The moon god. Sometimes thought of as the man in the moon. Bosh! said the emerald. I don’t believe it. Do you believe I’m your mother? I do. Do you believe you’re an emerald? I am an emerald. Used to be, said Moll, women wouldn’t drink from a glass into which the moon had shone. For fear of getting knocked up. Surely this is a superstition? Hoo, hoo, said Moll. I like superstition. I thought the moon was female. Don’t be culture-bound. It’s been female in some cultures at some times, and in others, not. What did it feel like? The experience. Not a proper subject for discussion with a child. The emerald sulking. Green looks here and there. Well it wasn’t the worst. Wasn’t the worst. I had an orgasm that lasted three hours. I judge that not the worst.
    Donald Barthelme
