Famous quotes containing the word created:
“Why was the human race created? Or at least why wasnt something creditable created in place of it? God had His opportunity. He could have made a reputation. But no, He must commit this grotesque follya lark which must have cost Him a regret or two when He came to think it over and observe effects.”

“Have We not made the earth as a cradle and the mountains as pegs? And We created you in pairs, and We appointed your sleep for a rest; and We appointed night for a garment, and We appointed day for a livelihood. And We have built above you seven strong ones, and We appointed a blazing lamp and have sent down out of the rain-clouds water cascading that We may bring forth thereby grain and plants, and gardens luxuriant.”
—QurAn. The Tiding, 78:6-16, trans. by Arthur J. Arberry (1955)
“Let the wheel spin out,
Till all created things
With shout and answering shout
Cast off rememberings....”
—Philip Larkin (19221986)
