Personal Statements

Famous quotes containing the words personal and/or statements:

“There cannot be a personal God without a pessimistic religion. As soon as there is a personal God he is a disappointing God.”

“Is it true or false that Belfast is north of London? That the galaxy is the shape of a fried egg? That Beethoven was a drunkard? That Wellington won the battle of Waterloo?
