Famous quotes containing the word god:

    I long to talk with some old lover’s ghost
    Who died before the god of love was born.
    I cannot think that he who then loved most,
    Sunk so low as to love one which did scorn.
    John Donne (1572–1631)

    If God is male, then male is God. The divine patriarch castrates women as long as he is allowed to live on in the human imagination.
    Mary Daly (b. 1928)

    If I am not, may God put me there; and if I am, may God so keep me.
    Joan Of Arc (c.1412–1431)
