Beyond the stars Quote by Francis A. Schaeffer
““I live in a thought world which is filled with creativity; inside my head there is creative imagination. Why? Because God, who is the Creator, has made me in His own image, I can go out in imagination beyond the stars. This is true not only for the Christian, but for every man. Every man is made in the image of God; therefore, no man in his imagination is confined to his own body.””

![“[The Devil] And me? I suffer, and still I do not live. I am an x in an indeterminate equation. I am some sort of ghost of life who has lost all ends and beginnings, and I've finally even forgotten what to call myself...You're eternally angry, you want reason only, but I will repeat to you once…” quote by Fyodor Dostoyevsky](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/9e6/fyodor-dostoyevsky-94_beyond-the-stars_the-devil-and-me-i-suffer-and-still-i-do_907542.jpg)
