Quotes by Daniel Nayeri  (?)

“I think the biggest lie the devil ever told was that beauty and goodness are the same.”
Daniel Nayeri, Another Faust

“If it looks real and feels real, do you think it matters if it's real?”
Daniel Nayeri, Another Faust

“A god who listens is love. A god who speaks is law. At their worst, the people who want a god who listens are self-centered...And the ones who want a god who speaks are cruel. They just want laws and justice to crush everything...Love is empty without justice. Justice is cruel without love....God should be both. If a god isn't, that is no God.”
Daniel Nayeri, Everything Sad Is Untrue
