Rick Riordan

Mystery has its own mysteries, and there are gods above gods. We have ours, they have theirs. That is what's known as infinity.

Lactantius

I do not concern myself with gods and spirits either good or evil nor do I serve any.

I titled the book 'Homo Deus' because we really are becoming gods in the most literal sense possible. We are acquiring abilities that have always been thought to be divine abilities - in particular, the ability to create life. And we can do with that whatever we want.

Yuval Noah Harari

Where no gods are, spectres rule.

Novalis

Religion is like a personal computer. You let people in if you want to... We're all gods.

Mika Waltari
