God: 48 Famous and Fascinating Minds Talk About God
Throughout history, humans have been fascinated by the idea of something beyond their own experience. Whether through organized religion, or among the growing contingent of people who self-identify as spiritual, but not religious, this curiosity about a higher power has fascinated both average people and civilization's most brilliant thinkers for millennia. With forty-eight carefully chosen quotes from the most creative thinkers throughout time—including Homer, Pope Francis, and Maya Angelou—God opens the door to contemplation and discussion of this most perennial of human preoccupations. Each quote is paired with a delightful illustration from famed New Yorker cartoonist R.O. Blechman, grounding this varied group of perspectives in a common visual language that is sure to amuse and delight readers.

Really first class thoughts on God - made me see several things from a new perspective. I think that is only natural that our concept of (G)god(s) will evolve as we grow older; sometimes I long to go back to the days when (as a small boy) he was a benevolent protector who would never let anything bad happen to me. It was so much more comforting then.

There is a very good saying that if triangles invented a god, they would make him three-sided.
