QUOTES FROM AMERICAN GODS

“Believe a little. Believe enough to see at least one miracle in your life.”

“Nothing’s as simple as you think.”

“I can believe things that are true and things that aren’t true and I can believe things where nobody knows if they’re true or not.”

“The end is always on its way. The future is always coming. This is the way of things.”

“There’s never been a true war that wasn’t fought between two sets of people who were certain they were in the right.”

“Ideas are more powerful than guns. We would not let our enemies have guns, why should we let them have ideas?”

“Nobody is actually dead until the ripples they cause in the world die away.”

“We all have so many sides to ourselves. It’s hard to tell which one is truly us.”

“I can believe in anything, provided it is not quite real.”

“All we have to believe with is our senses, the tools we use to perceive the world: our sight, our touch, our memory. If they lie to us, then nothing can be trusted.”

“Once the gods have gained a foothold somewhere, they have a way of staying.”

“Things change. That’s the rule. If you don’t change, you die.”

“I believe most people are good. I believe that most people want to do the right thing. When you see a person acting in a cruel or wicked way, it’s usually because they’ve been hurt or because they’re scared.” AUDREY HEPBURN EMPATHY QUOTE

“Sooner or later, everything old is new again.”

“People create gods when they wonder why things happen. Do you know why things happen? Because gods make them happen.”

“The only limits are those we place upon ourselves.”

“The existence of a deity has always seemed unlikely to me. But even more unlikely is the idea that our universe is the result of a cosmic accident.”

“People believe, thought Shadow. It’s what people do. They believe. And then they will not take responsibility for their beliefs; they conjure things, and do not trust the conjurations. People populate the darkness; with ghosts, with gods, with electrons, with tales.”

“It’s not about protecting a country. It’s about keeping the line between good and evil, right and wrong, firmly in place.”

“The world was a bad dream. Not the nightmare I had every night, but a bad dream with no morning to wake up to.”

“Gods die. And when they truly die they are unmourned and unremembered. Ideas are more difficult to kill than people, but they can be killed, in the end.”

“Hope for a miracle. But don’t depend on one.”

“In the darkness, all men are one.”

“I guess you could say that most of us are living in a dream world, only we don’t realize it because we think it’s reality.”
