Which seemed to hover in a limbo between creation and decay .

It was the whole Trinity, which at the beginning of creation said, “Let us make man”. It was the whole Trinity again, which at the beginning of the Gospel seemed to say, “Let us save man”.

I don’t consider myself a stand-up comedian. I consider myself a performer; a comic as opposed to stand-up comedian. Stand-up comedians stand there and do their bits; I break every rule in creation. If there’s a rule that can be broken in stand-up, I’ll do it.

My fantasy had always been making a music video and performing with music that I had created.

The music helped me sympathize with our young generation and also empathize with them. I’d like to create and write more music that represents them.

I think electricity will create a new world. I feel like the world will change a lot with electricity, and I wonder how it will change, it’s scary, and it’s going to be fun. I think there are so many things to think about when it comes to electric cars.

I felt that group vocals for ‘Airplane’ coming from all the BTS members who’ve been together through this journey would create an even more heartfelt song.

Back in the days when American billboard advertising was in flower [said Hemingway], there were two slogans that I always rated above all others: the old Cremo Cigar ad that proclaimed, Spit Is a Horrid Word-but Worse on the end of Your Cigar, and Drink Schlitz in Brown Bottles and Avoid that Skunk Taste. You don’t get creative writing like that any more.

I think a lot of people have the Frank Lloyd Wright model in their brains. The architect comes in with this act of creation and lays it down, and that’s it. But that’s not me

I have created a new genre. It is a soulful creation that comes straight from my heart.

THE WORD OF GOD IS THE CREATION WE BEHOLD: And it is in this word, which no human invention can counterfeit or alter, that God speak universally to man

The moral duty of man consists of imitating the moral goodness and beneficence of God, manifested in the creation towards all his creatures. Everything of persecution and revenge between man and man, and everything of cruelty to animals is a violation of moral duty

Practical religion consists in doing good: and the only way of serving God is that of endeavoring to make His creation happy. All preaching that has not this for its object is nonsense and hypocrisy.

The creation is the Bible of the Deist. He there reads, in the handwriting of the Creator himself, the certainty of His existence and the immutability of His power, and all other Bibles and Testaments are to him forgeries.

The Deist needs none of those tricks and shows called miracles to confirm his faith, for what can be a greater miracle than the creation itself, and his own existence?

In Deism our reason and our belief become happily united. The wonderful structure of the universe, and everything we behold in the system of the creation, prove to us, far better than books can do, the existence of a God, and at the same time proclaim His attributes

Basically, God was way too needy. This kind of attitude is all over the Bible: God always being mad at his creations and doling out disproportional punishment. It’s certainly not a fair fight, pitting humans against omnipotence.

When I write a play or a novel, I write the ending and am responsible for it. Tolstoy has every right to throw Anna Karenina under the train. She begins in his imagination, and he has to take responsibility for her until the reader does. But the life of a living human being, no one writes it. You cannot deal with another human being as though he were a fictional creation.” (In an interview with David C. Estes)

People carry around resentment for years! And that creates daily stress.

I believe that the science of chemistry alone almost proves the existence of an intelligent creator

It is said that God has created man in his own image. But it may be that humankind has created God in the image of humankind

Happiness is not in the mere possession of money; it lies in the joy of achievement, in the thrill of creative effort

When it comes to song creation, I throw in my ideas and have it discussed with the producer. The song gets its own characteristic as new ideas are incorporated.

Religion is essentially the art and the theory of the remaking of man. Man is not a finished creation.

The last time I cry was when I won the champions. It was one of the best moments in my life.

I believe that mathematical reality lies outside us, that our function is to discover or observe it, and that the theorems which we prove, and which we describe grandiloquently as our “creations,” are simply the notes of our observations.

This is the greatest week in the history of the world since the Creation, because as a result of what happened in this week, the world is bigger, infinitely.

Become conscious of being conscious. Say or think “I am”, and add nothing to it. Be aware of the stillness that follows the “I am”. Sense your presence, the naked unveiled, unclothed beingness. It is untouched by young or old, rich or poor, good or bad, or any other attributes. It is the spacious womb of all creation, all form.

Bliss is a thing which is always there and is not something which comes and goes. That which comes and goes is a creation of the mind.

There is neither creation nor destruction, neither destiny nor free will, neither path nor achievement. This is the final truth.

There is nothing wrong with God’s creation. Mystery and Suffering only exist in the mind.

The Self alone exists. When you try to trace the ego, which is the basis of the perception of the world and everything else, you find the ego does not exist at all and neither does all this creation that you see.

To terrify children with the image of hell, to consider women an inferior creation, is that good for the world?

To terrify children with the image of hell, to consider women an inferior creation—is that good for the world?

The creation of a thousand forests is in one acorn.

We may, perhaps, imagine that the creation was finished long ago. But that would be quite wrong. It continues still more magnificently, and at the highest levels of the world.

By virtue of Creation, and still more the Incarnation, nothing here below is profane for those who know how to see.

Meanwhile, the poor Babel fish, by effectively removing all barriers to communication between different races and cultures, has caused more and bloodier wars than anything else in the history of creation.

Every act of creation is first of all an act of destruction.

The whole difference between construction and creation is exactly this: that a thing constructed can only be loved after it is constructed; but a thing created is loved before it exists.

Through books you will meet poets and novelists whose creations will fire your imagination. You will meet the great thinkers who will share with you their philosophies, their concepts of the world, of humanity and of creation. You will learn about events that have shaped our history, of deeds both noble and ignoble. All of this knowledge is yours for the taking… Your library is a storehouse for mind and spirit. Use it well.

What we are today comes from our thoughts of yesterday, and our present thoughts build our life of tomorrow: Our life is the creation of our mind.

I will not allow myself to indulge in the usual manipulating game of role creation

Man, the living creature, the creating individual, is always more important than any established style or system

It is not the creation of wealth that is wrong, but the love of money for its own sake.

Go to work! Go to work in the morn of a new creation until you have reached the height of self-progress, and from that pinnacle bestow upon the world a civilization of your own.

Art is a selective re-creation of reality according to an artists metaphysical value judgments

You are a wonderful creation. You know more than you think you know, just as you know less than you want to know.

There is a basic law that like attracts like. Negative thinking definitely attracts negative results. Conversely, if a person habitually thinks optimistically and hopefully, his positive thinking sets in motion creative forces – and success instead of eluding him flows toward him.

A Heavenly Master governs all the world as Sovereign of the universe. We are astonished at Him by reason of His perfection, we honor Him and fall down before Him because of His unlimited power. From blind physical necessity, which is always and everywhere the same, no variety adhering to time and place could evolve, and all variety of created objects which represent order and life in the universe could happen only by the willful reasoning of its original Creator, Whom I call the Lord God.

I believe that we should own the fruits of our labor and the assets of our creations.

It seems probable to me that God, in the beginning, formed matter in solid, massy, hard, impenetrable, moveable particles.

God created everything by number, weight, and measure.

Well for one, the 13th amendment to the constitution of the US which abolished slavery – did not abolish slavery for those convicted of a crime

How wrong it is for a woman to expect the man to build the world she wants, rather than to create it herself.

Democratic institutions generally give men a lofty notion of their country and themselves.

In order to enjoy the inestimable benefits that the liberty of the press ensures, it is necessary to submit to the inevitable evils it creates

The creative act is a letting down of the net of human imagination into the ocean of chaos on which we are suspended, and the attempt to bring out of it ideas.

The creative act is a letting down of the net of human imagination into the ocean of chaos on which we are suspended, and the attempt to bring out of it ideas.

We are not our own masters, but instruments in the hands of the forces that created us.

The Tortoise never for a moment stopped, but went on with a slow but steady pace straight to the end of the course

Effective philanthropy requires a lot of time and creativity – the same kind of focus and skills that building a business requires.

Creativity is intelligence having fun.

Man can hardly even recognize the devils of his own creation

The secret to creativity is knowing how to hide your sources.

Creativity is contagious. Pass it on.

It is wonderful to be in on the creation of something, see it used, and then walk away and smile at it.
