One of the proud joys of the man of letters - if that man of letters is an artist - is to feel within himself the power to immortalize at will anything he chooses to immortalize. Insignificant though he may be, he is conscious of possessing a creative divinity. God creates lives; the man of imagination creates fictional lives which may make a profound and as it were more living impression on the world's memory.

Edmond de Goncourt

Man first unconsciously and involuntarily creates God in his own image, and after this God consciously and voluntarily creates man in his own image.

Ludwig Feuerbach

Rajneesh

God creates dinosaurs, God kills dinosaurs, God creates man, man kills God, man brings back dinosaurs.

God creates us to compete. He creates us to win. It matters. But you've got no chance if you don't do your best.

Dabo Swinney

Man creates both his god and his devil in his own image. His god is himself at his best, and his devil himself at his worst.

Elbert Hubbard

We need more light about each other. Light creates understanding, understanding creates love, love creates patience, and patience creates unity.

Malcolm X

Man creates what he is, man creates himself. The meaning has to be created. You have to sing your meaning, you have to dance your meaning, you have to paint your meaning, you have to live it. Through living, it will arise; through dancing, it will start penetrating your being. Through singing, it will come to you. It is not like a rock just lying there to be found, it has to bloom in your being.

Rajneesh

Speaking with kindness creates confidence, thinking with kindness creates profoundness, giving with kindness creates love.

Laozi

Kindness in words creates confidence. Kindness in thinking creates profoundness. Kindness in giving creates love.

Lao Tzu

Goodness in words creates trust, goodness in thinking creates depth, goodness in giving creates love.

Laozi

Man is the center of a circle without a circumference, except the one he creates for himself.

Mahatma Gandhi

Man creates what he calls history as a screen to conceal the workings of the apocalypse from himself.

Northrop Frye

There is no God separate from you, no God higher than you, the real "you." All the gods are little beings to you, all the ideas of God and Father in heaven are but your own reflection. God Himself is your image. “God created man after His own image." That is wrong. Man creates God after his own image. That is right. Throughout the universe we are creating gods after our own image. We create the god and fall down at his feet and worship him; and when this dream comes, we love it !

Swami Vivekananda

Without the knowledge of our wretchedness, the knowledge of God creates pride. With it, the knowledge of God creates despair. The knowledge of Christ offers a third way, because in him we find both God and our wretchedness.
