If they are gods, why do you lament them? If you lament them, you must no longer regard them as gods.

On the Disc, the Gods aren't so much worshipped, as they are blamed.

That the gods die from time to time is due to man’s sudden discovery that they do not mean anything, that they are made by human hands, useless idols of wood and stone.

"Are the gods not just?"

"Oh no, child. What would become of us if they were?"

The gods are strange. It is not our vices only they make instruments to scourge us. They bring us to ruin through what in us is good, gentle, humane, loving.

Oh for shame, how the mortals put the blame on us gods, for they say evils come from us, but it is they, rather, who by their own recklessness win sorrow beyond what is given...

There are gods, but there is no God; and all gods become devils eventually.

Never honor the gods in one breath and take the gods for fools the next.

Ah how shameless – the way these mortals blame the gods. From us alone they say come all their miseries yes but they themselves with their own reckless ways compound their pains beyond their proper share.

The gods mock the prayers of kings and cowherds alike.

There is no great invention, from fire to flying, which has not been hailed as an insult to some god.

Never invoke the gods unless you really want them to appear. It annoys them very much.

Men were not gods after all, but as human and as clumsy as girls.

The gods do not protect fools. Fools are protected by more capable fools.
