God Told

Famous quotes containing the words god and/or told:

“The soul can split the sky in two,
And let the face of God shine through.”
—Edna St. Vincent Millay (1892–1950)

“Everywhere we are told that our human resources are all to be used, that our civilization itself means the uses of everything it has—the inventions, the histories, every scrap of fact. But there is one kind of knowledge—infinitely precious, time- resistant more than monuments, here to be passed between the generations in any way it may be: never to be used. And that is poetry.”
—Muriel Rukeyser (1913–1980)
