Famous Quotes & Sayings

Bob Dylan

I don't view it as mystic. I believe that God is our father. He created us. He is powerful because he knows everything.

Truth is not incompatible with itself. When I benefit from science it's actually not correct for me to say it resulted from science and not from God. They work in concert.
