God Quote by Anne Carson — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“THE PRESOCRATIC PROBLEM”

“Here we go mother on the shipless ocean.”

“Come here, let me share a bit of wisdom with you.”

“Prowling the meanings of a word, prowling the history of a person, no use expecting a flood of light. Human words have no main switch. But all those little kidnaps in the dark. And then the luminous, big, shivering, discandied, unrepentant, barking web of them that hangs in your mind when you turn back to the page you were trying to translate...”

“That night we made love "the real way" which we had not yet attempted”

“You remember too much,”

“Harper: In your experience of the world. How do people change?”

“I do not believe in God and I am not an atheist.”

“God depends on us. It is through us that God is achieved.”

“Was there ever a more horrible blasphemy than the statement that all the knowledge of God is confined to this or that book? How dare men call God infinite, and yet try to compress Him within the covers of a little book!”

“Man comes closer to God through the questions he asks Him, he liked to say.”

“Theological formation is the gradual and often painful discovery of God's incomprehensibility. You can be competent in many things, but you cannot be competent in God.”
