God Quote by Elizabeth Gilbert — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“True wisdom gives the only possible answer at any given moment, and that night, going back to bed was the only possible answer.”

“Looking for Truth is not some kind of spazzy free-for-all, not even during this, the great age of the spazzy free-for-all.”

“All I could say was, "I don't know what to do." I remember her taking me by the shoulders and looking me in the eye with a calm smile and saying simply, "Tell the truth, tell the truth, tell the truth.”

“I couldn't care less about evidence and proof and assurances. I just want God. I want God inside me. I want God to play in my bloodstream the way sunlight amuses itself on water.”

“The great Sufi poet and philosopher Rumi once advised his students to write down the three things they most wanted in life. If any item on the list clashes with any other item, Rumi warned, you are destined for unhappiness. Better to live a life of single-pointed focus, he taught. But what about the benefits of living harmoniously among extremes? What if you could somehow create an expansive enough life that you could synchronize seemingly incongruous opposites into a worldview that excludes nothing?”

“All crosses had their tops cut and became T's. There was also a thing called God.”

“It may not always be easy, convenient or politically correct to stand for truth and right, but it is the right thing to do. Always.”

“There's a lot of pride involved in my refusal to believe in god.”

“A believer is Satan to Satan.”

“The demand that God should forgive a such a man while he remains what he is, is based on a confusion between condoning and forgiving. To condone an evil is simply to ignore it, to treat it as if it were good. But forgiveness needs to be accepted as well as offered if it is to be complete; and a man who admits no guilt can accept no forgiveness.”

“With God nothing is impossible.”
