Famous quotes containing the words god and/or defend:
“This I know; God cannot sin, because his doing a thing makes it just, and consequently, no sin.... And therefore it is blasphemy to say, God can sin; but to say, that God can so order the world, as a sin may be necessarily caused thereby in a man, I do not see how it is any dishonor to him.”
—Thomas Hobbes (1579–1688)
“On a few words of what is real in the world
I nourish myself. I defend myself against
Whatever remains.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
