Imagine the Creator as a stand up comedian – and at once the world becomes explicable. – H. L. Mencken

when god decided to invent everything he took one reath bigger than a circustent and everything began – e. e. (Edward Estlin) cummings

Thou didst create the night, but I made the lamp. Thou didst create clay, but I made the cup. Thou didst create the deserts, mountains and forests, I produced the orchards, gardens and groves. It is I who made the glass out of stone, and it is I who turn a poison into an antidote. – Sir Muhammad Iqbal
