“The Creator has blessed all His creations with the freedom of choice.”

“The goal of creation is—to please the creation, i. e. the Creator wants to fill us with the very best. And until a man receives all the very perfect and the very best that has been ordained for him by the Creator, he experiences the lack of everything, and this is the sign that he hasn’t yet reached the goal of the creation.”

Baruch Ashlag (1907–1991) Polish rabbi

“The aim of the Creator from the time He created His Creation is to reveal His Godliness to others.”

Yehuda Ashlag (1886–1954) Orthodox Jewish Rabbi and Kabbalist

“CREATING SACRED SPACE MIRRORS GOD’S CREATION. OUR CHALLENGE AS CO-CREATORS IS TO MIRROR GOD’S LOVE AND BEAUTY IN ALL OUR CREATIONS.”

Alex Grey (1953) American artist

“By the Creator at the moment of creation. May we shelter safe beneath the Light, in the Creator’s hand.”

Robert Jordan (1948–2007) American writer

“Because to take away a man's freedom of choice, even his freedom to make the wrong choice, is to manipulate him as though he were a puppet and not a person.”

Madeleine L'Engle (1918–2007) American writer

“Only a humorless tyrant could want a perpetual chanting of praises that, one has no choice but to assume, would be the innate virtues and splendors furnished him by his creator, infinite regression, drowned in praise!”

Christopher Hitchens (1949–2011) British American author and journalist

“It is man’s pretence that because he has choice he is free. Freedom is pure observation without direction, without fear of punishment and reward. Freedom is without motive; freedom is not at the end of the evolution of man but lies in the first step of his existence.”

Jiddu Krishnamurti (1895–1986) Indian spiritual philosopher

“Charity even for one person does not make sense except in terms of an effort to love all Creation in response to the Creator's love for it.”

Wendell Berry (1934) author

“A dream is a creation of the intelligence, the creator being present but not knowing how it will end.”

Cesare Pavese (1908–1950) Italian poet, novelist, literary critic, and translator
