  • All doctrines relating to the creation of the world, the government of man by superior beings, and his destiny after death, are conjectures which have been given out as facts, handed down with many adornments by tradition, and accepted by posterity as "revealed religion". They are theories more or less rational which uncivilised men have devised in order to explain the facts of life, and which civilised men believe that they believe.

    Samuel Beckett (1970). “The collected works of Samuel Beckett”
  • The world is wide; no two days are alike, nor even two hours; neither were there ever two leaves of a tree alike since the creation of the world; and the genuine productions of art, like those of nature, are all distinct from one another.

    Summer   Art   June  
    John Constable, Anne Gray, Dr, John Gage, Conal Shields, Ann Galbally (2006). “Constable: Impressions of Land, Sea and Sky”
  • Geometry, which before the origin of things was coeternal with the divine mind and is God himself (for what could there be in God which would not be God himself?), supplied God with patterns for the creation of the world, and passed over to Man along with the image of God; and was not in fact taken in through the eyes.

    God   Taken   Eye  
    Johannes Kepler, E. J. Aiton, Alistair Matheson Duncan, Judith Veronica Field (1997). “The Harmony of the World”, p.304, American Philosophical Society
  • It is wonderful that five thousand years have now elapsed since the creation of the world, and still it is undecided whether or not there has ever been an instance of the spirit of any person appearing after death. All argument is against it; but all belief is for it.

    Years   World   Spirit  
    James Boswell, John Wilson Croker, John Wright (1839). “The Life of Samuel Johnson, LL.D.: Including a Journal of His Tour to the Hebrides”, p.59

  • If you start parsing the cause-and-effect chain backward through time, eventually you land in cosmology - does the story begin with the Big Bang or the out-of-nothing creation of the world by the word of a Southern Baptist god? And that question is even more fraught than any of the others. The stakes couldn't be any higher, because not it's not just a question of life and death, but also a question of life after death or eternal torture after death.

    "To Rage Against Meaninglessness". Interview with Matt Bell, logger.believermag.com. February 6, 2014.
  • The meaning of the Sabbath is to celebrate time rather than space. Six days a week we live under the tyranny of things of space; on the Sabbath we try to become attuned to holiness in time. It is a day on which we are called upon to share in what is eternal in time, to turn from the results of creation to the mystery of creation; from the world of creation to the creation of the world.

    Space   Trying   Six  
    Abraham Joshua Heschel (2005). “The Sabbath”, p.22, Macmillan

  • There is an idea in Kabbalah that the creation of the world is created through space. God is an ever present Being, and in order for anything outside of Him to exist, like this world for example, there needs to be what's called a TumTum[a], or a withdrawal of Godly-like. And that withdrawal happens not by connection but actually by separation. Conflict. And in the gap of that conflict is where the world is situated. That's where the world is created and lived.

    Godly   Space   Order  
  • There are innumerable questions to which the inquisitive mind can in this state receive no answer: Why do you and I exist? Why was this world created? Since it was to be created, why was it not created sooner?

    Mind   Answers   World  
    James Boswell, Samuel Johnson, Edmond Malone (1824). “The life of Samuel Johnson, LL. D., comprehending an account of his studies, and numerous works, in chronological order: a series of his epistolary correspondence and conversations with many eminent persons; and various original pieces of his composition, never before published; the whole exhibiting a view of literature and literary men in Great Britain, for near half a century during which he flourished”, p.328
  • What really interests me is whether God had any choice in the creation of the World.

  • It's the perpetually unfinished quality of housework that makes it oppressive - it never ends, like bad psychoanalysis, or a dream interrupted. It is paradoxically true that it is exactly this daily re-creation of the world that lends housekeeping its nobility and romance.

    Dream   Romance   Quality  
    Barbara Grizzuti Harrison (1997). “An Accidental Autobiography”, Mariner Books
  • Loud laughter is the mirth of the mob, who are only pleased with silly things; for true Wit or good Sense never excited a laugh since the creation of the world. A man of parts and fashion is therefore often seen to smile, but never heard to laugh.

    Lord Chesterfield (1998). “Lord Chesterfield's Letters”, p.145, OUP Oxford
  • I have never studied the art of paying compliments to women; but I must say that if all that has been said by orators and poets since the creation of the world in praise of women were applied to the women of America, it would not do them justice for their conduct during this war.

    Art   War   America  
    Abraham Lincoln, James Baird McClure (2006). “Anecdotes and Stories of Abraham Lincoln”, p.118, Stackpole Books
  • Did ever woman, since the creation of the world, interrupt a man with such a silly question?

    Silly   Men   World  
    Tristram Shandy bk. 1, ch. 1 (1759 - 1767)
  • Contrast is the intangible ingredient, the catalyst that makes life exciting. The human mind rejects monotony even to the point of destroying itself in madness, when monotony is forced upon it for too long. ... Contrast gives variety and interest, whether it be in the universe as a whole with its light and darkness, its ceaseless motion and constant change, its creation of worlds and destruction of others.

    Light   Long   Giving  
  • The "Kumulipo" is an old Hawaiian prayer chant that poetically describes the creation of the world. The word literally means "beginning-in-deep-darkness." Here darkness doesn't connote gloom and evil. Rather, it's about the inscrutability of the embryonic state; the obscure chaos that reigns before germination.

    Prayer   Writing   Mean  
    Rob Brezsny (2005). “Pronoia Is the Antidote for Paranoia: How the Whole World Is Conspiring to Shower You with Blessings”, p.194, Frog Books
