John Perry Barlow Quotes

Miracles are not contrary to nature, but only contrary to what we know about nature.

Miracles cannot be explained, that is their miraculous nature.

Pretend that this is a time of miracles and we believe in them.

Never ever doubt in magic. The purest honest thoughts come from children, ask any child if they believe in magic and they will tell you the truth.

We have invented the whole machinery of the supernatural, with its unseen spirits and powers good and bad, to account for things, because we found the universal everyday nature too cheap, too common, too vulgar. We have had to cap the natural with the supernatural to satisfy our love for the marvelous and the inexplicable.

Extraordinary miracles, billions and trillions of them, happen all the time, but not because there's a God.

Miracles do not, in fact, break the laws of nature.

We don't work for the government. We don't carry guns. We don't chase aliens. We are a man and a woman. The similarities end there... If 'X-Files' and 'Touched by an Angel' crashed on 'Highway to Heaven,' you'd have 'Mysterious Ways.'

And as to me, I know nothing else but miracles

Do you believe in miracles?

Our Lord reserved to Himself certain things which He would do in due time in a manner outside the course and order of nature, so that they would wonder and be astonished at seeing not great but unusual things, who are unmoved by things daily seen. For the government of the world is a greater miracle than feeding five thousand men from five loaves; yet at the former no one wonders, the latter astonishes all men: not as a greater wonder, but as a rarer.

What is there unreasonable in admitting the intervention of a supernatural power in the most ordinary circumstances of life?

I think it's nice to let people know that there is an invisible part of the world. I think there are many people now who are interested in the invisible world.

I think people are just intrigued with the supernatural. I mean, I know that I am. It's something that I find very interesting.

I don't believe in ghosts and have never seen one. I wish I could see one, and I would like to have seen one because then I could believe in God. If I can see it, feel it and taste it, then I believe in it.

I'm a complete skeptic when it comes to the supernatural and all that. I've never had any ghost stories or any kind of weird experiences.

I believe that miracles happen every day.

I happen to collect the weird stuff - photos that make the hair on the back of your neck stand up a little. The uncanny.

That feeling of wavering between reality and supernatural has always been really interesting to me.

There is magic on earth.

Miracles exist - you just have to believe it.

Healing and miracles have been a mystery to men of all times. To some, the phenomenon is frightening, while others find it exhilarating.

Nothing is to wonderful to be true.
