Quote by Oscar Wilde

“Religion does not help me. The faith that others give to what is unseen, I give to what one can touch, and look at. My gods dwell in temples made with hands; and within the circle of actual experience is my creed made perfect and complete: too complete, it may be, for like many or all of those who have placed their heaven in this earth, I have found in it not merely the beauty of heaven, but the horror of hell also.”

Quote by Oscar Wilde

“Nature follows it’s own laws. No matter how much we try to learn about it’s ways, we can only perceive what we see. We can only interpret them the way we understand them and mostly what can be established in physical sciences. There will always be an overwhelming element of mystery in it’s simplicity, there will always be more to discover. God whispers to a tranquil and open mind. We can hear Him in the silence and mysteries of nature. Are you listening?”
