God Quote by Rainer Maria Rilke — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“If we surrendered”

“A billion stars go spinning through the night,”

“Isn’t it time that these most ancient sorrows of ours”

“I live my life in widening circle”

“You, God, who live next door--”

“I live not in dreams but in contemplation of a reality that is perhaps the future.”

“Prayer will make a man cease from sin, or sin will entice a man to cease from prayer.”

“Do you remember? Do you remember the world before the poison?”

“Mr. Frimpong is the oldest person from church. That's when I knew why he sings louder than anybody else: it's because he's been waiting the longest for God to answer. He thinks God has forgotten him. I only knew it then. Then I loved him but it was too late to go back.”

“And if there is no god?”

“Maybe there’s a heaven, like they say, a place where everything we’ve ever done is noted and recorded, weighed on big karma scales. Maybe not. Maybe this whole thing is just a giant experiment run by aliens who find out human hijinks amusing. Or maybe we’re an abandoned project started by a deity who checked out a long time ago, but we’re still hard-wired to believe, to try to make meaning out of the seemingly random. Maybe we’re all part of the same unconscious stew, dreaming the same dreams, hoping the same hopes, needing the same connection, trying to find it, missing, trying again—each of us playing our parts in the other’s plotlines, just one big ball of human yarn tangled up together. Maybe this is it.”
