Tolstoy

"There are two Gods," Tolstoy once said. "There is the God that people generally believe in - A God who has to serve them (sometimes in very refined ways, say by merely giving them peace of mind). This God does not exist. But the God whom people forget- the God whom we all have to serve- exists, and is the prime cause of our existence and of all that we perceive."
