God Quote by Emily Dickinson — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“I died for beauty, but was scarce”

“One need not be a chamber to be haunted.”

“I many times thought peace had come,”

“Oh Susie, I often think that I will try to tell you how very dear you are, and how I'm watching for you, but the words won't come, though the tears will, and I sit down disappointed. Yet, darling, you know it all-- then why do I seek to tell you? I do not know. In thinking of those I love, my reason is all gone from me, and I do fear sometimes that I must make a hospital for the hopelessly insane, and chain myself up there so I won't injure you.”

“She died--this was the way she died;”

“I wonder if it hurts to live,”

“Meditating on the nature and dignity of prayer can cause saying at least one thing to God: Lord, teach us to pray!”

“I have found God, but he is insufficient.”

“The problem of vindicating an omnipotent and omniscient God in the face of evil is insurmountable. Those who claim to have surmounted it, by recourse to notions of free will and other incoherencies, have merely heaped bad philosophy onto bad ethics.”

“To require God to prove that He is able and willing to fulfill His promises would be proof positive that one does not trust Him.”
