God Told

Famous quotes containing the words god and/or told:

“A matter that becomes clear ceases to concern us.—What was that god thinking who counseled, “Know thyself!” Did he perhaps mean, “Cease to concern yourself! Become objective!”—And Socrates?—And “scientific men”?”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

“In Washington, the first thing people tell you is what their job is. In Los Angeles you learn their star sign. In Houston you’re told how rich they are. And in New York they tell you what their rent is.”
