God is Love, we are taught as children to believe. But when we first begin to get some inkling of how He loves us, we are repelled; it seems so cold, indeed, not love at all as we understand the word. – W. H. Auden

The consuming desire of most human beings is deliberately to plant their whole life in the hands of some other person. I would describe this method of searching for happiness as immature. Development of character consists solely in moving toward self-sufficiency. – Quentin Crisp
Compared to America or Europe, God isnt a big part of our lives here. I dont know anyone here who goes to church when hes had a rough divorce or is going through depression. We go out into nature instead. – Bjork
