Rain God

Famous quotes containing the words rain and/or god:

    Tasting of the sweet damp woods and of the rain one inch above the meadow:

    It was like feasting upon air.
    William Jay Smith (b. 1918)

    It is the manner of gods and prophets to begin: “Thou shalt have none other God or Prophet but me.” If I were to start as a God or a prophet I think I should take the line: “Thou shalt not believe in me. Thou shalt not have me for a God. Thou shalt worship any d_____d thing thou likest except me.” This should be my first and great commandment, and my second should be like unto it.
    Samuel Butler (1835–1902)
