God Quote by Tom Stoppard — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“Because children grow up, we think a child's purpose is to grow up. But a child's purpose is to be a child. Nature doesn't disdain what lives only for a day. It pours the whole of itself into the each moment. We don't value the lily less for not being made of flint and built to last. Life's bounty is in its flow, later is too late. Where is the song when it's been sung? The dance when it's been danced? It's only we humans who want to own the future, too. We persuade ourselves that the universe is modestly employed in unfolding our destination. We note the haphazard chaos of history by the day, by the hour, but there is something wrong with the picture. Where is the unity, the meaning, of nature's highest creation? Surely those millions of little streams of accident and wilfulness have their correction in the vast underground river which, without a doubt, is carrying us to the place where we're expected! But there is no such place, that's why it's called utopia. The death of a child has no more meaning than the death of armies, of nations. Was the child happy while he lived? That is a proper question, the only question. If we can't arrange our own happiness, it's a conceit beyond vulgarity to arrange the happiness of those who come after us.”

“We're actors — we're the opposite of people!”

“Rosencrantz: We might as well be dead. Do you think death could possibly be a boat?”

“The truth is, we value your company, for want of any other. We have been left so much to our own devices—after a while one welcomes the uncertainty of being left to other people's.”

“TRUTH”

“Many of the most powerful things in life are not tangible. All it takes is for you to close your eyes to see.”

“God does not reject supplications, but there are supplications that are answered quickly, and there are supplications that are answered late, between forty years. God is very close to believers.”

“Life isn't always about finding yourself. More often than not, it's about discovering who God created you to be.”

“Whenever I see a dog, I see god.”

“With or without God, good decisions can be made; But only with God will great decisions be made.”
