God Told

Famous quotes containing the words god and/or told:

    The great God absolute! The centre and circumference of all democracy! His omnipresence, our divine equality!
    Herman Melville (1819–1891)

    Some time ago a publisher told me that there are four kinds of books that seldom, if ever, lose money in the United States—first, murder stories; secondly, novels in which the heroine is forcibly overcome by the hero; thirdly, volumes on spiritualism, occultism and other such claptrap, and fourthly, books on Lincoln.
    —H.L. (Henry Lewis)
