Hal ElrodMedicine, electronic communications, space travel, genetic manipulation . . . these are the miracles about which we now tell our children.

God has become obsolete. Science has won the battle.

David HumeThe false notion of miracles comes of our vanity, which makes us believe we are important enough for the Supreme Being to upset nature on our behalf.
Baron de MontesquieuWeak minds lead to weak actions. A strong, disciplined mind, which anyone can cultivate though daily practice, can achieve miracles.

Lydia M. ChildWe must remember that there is a great difference between a myth and a miracle. A myth is the idealization of a fact. A miracle is the counterfeit of a fact. There is the same difference between a myth and a miracle that there is between fiction and falsehood -- between poetry and perjury. Miracles belong to the far past and the far future. The little line of sand, called the present, between the seas, belongs to common sense to the natural.

Faith BaldwinRita folded her arms around herself and peered up at me. โIf youโd asked me three months ago Iโd have said you were hitting the bottle too hard. But then I got stabbed and should have died, but instead a bunch of cops and ambulance people showed up because somebody who wasnโt even there sent them on ahead to save my life. If something like that happens to someone like me, you start to have a little faith in something bigger. I donโt know if I believe in magic or miracles all the time. But I believe in you, Detective Walker. I believe in you.
C.E. MurphyThe more science learns, the clearer it is that although we are here, we shouldn't be. Once we begin considering the details of it all, the towering odds against our existence begin to become a bit unsettling. When we come to see the superlatively extreme precariousness of our existence, and begin to understand how by any accounting, we ought not to exist, what are we to think or feel? Our existence seems to be not merely a virtually impossible miracle but the most outrageous miracle conceivable, one that makes previously amazing miracles seem like almost nothing.

Michelle CruzGod, once imagined to be an omnipresent force throughout the whole world of nature and man. has been increasingly tending to seem omniabsent.

As science advances, belief in divine miracles and the efficacy of prayer becomes fainter and fainter.

Marianne WilliamsonBad things will happen and good things too. Your life will be full of surprises. Miracles happen only where there has been suffering. So taste your grief to the fullest. Donโt try and press it down. Donโt hide from it. Donโt escape. It is life too. It is truth. But it will pass and time will put a strange honey in the bitterness. Thatโs the way life goes.
Ben OkriWhen you go into the world today, before you leave your home, promise yourself that you'll find at least one miracle.

Karen Thompson WalkerI breathe deeply, taking in the fresh spring air. Though Beaufort has changed and I have changed, the air itself has not. Itโs still the air of my childhood, the air of my seventeenth year, and when I finally exhale, Iโm fifty-seven once more. But this is okay. I smile slightly, looking towards the sky, knowing thereโs one thing I havenโt told you: I now believe, by the way, that miracles can happen.
