Miraculous Quotes

“Whatever happens, they say afterwards, it must have been fate. People are always a little confused about this, as they are in the case of miracles. When someone is saved from certain death by a strange concatenation of circumstances, they say that's a miracle. But of course if someone is killed by a freak chain of events -- the oil spilled just there, the safety fence broken just there -- that must also be a miracle. Just because it's not nice doesn't mean it's not miraculous.”
― Terry Pratchett, Interesting Times

“Never surrender your hopes and dreams to the fateful limitations others have placed on their own lives. The vision of your true destiny does not reside within the blinkered outlook of the naysayers and the doom prophets. Judge not by their words, but accept advice based on the evidence of actual results. Do not be surprised should you find a complete absence of anything mystical or miraculous in the manifested reality of those who are so eager to advise you. Friends and family who suffer the lack of abundance, joy, love, fulfillment and prosperity in their own lives really have no business imposing their self-limiting beliefs on your reality experience.”
― Anthon St. Maarten

“Aren't most wonderful things a little bit strange?”
― Katie Henry, Heretics Anonymous

“Take from the church the miraculous, the supernatural, the incomprehensible, the unreasonable, the impossible, the unknowable, the absurd, and nothing but a vacuum remains.”

“Miraculous.'

'What's miraculous?'
...
'You are.' I set the empty glass on the nightstand and then turn back to her, gazing into the hazel eyes that have haunted me since Parapet. 'You are miraculous,' I finish in a whisper.”
― Rebecca Yarros, Fourth Wing

“When I saw Jurassic Park in the cinema something unexpected happened when the first dinosaur came on screen: I felt a huge, hopeful pressure in my chest and my eyes filled with tears. It was miraculous: a thing I'd seen representations of since I was a child had come alive.”
― Helen Macdonald, Vesper Flights

“You will learn of the relationship between the various strange destinies which plunged you at one moment into a higher realm of miraculous visions and at the next into the most commonplace of worlds. It is said that the miraculous has vanished from the earth, but I do not believe it. The miracles are still there, for even if we are no longer willing to call by that name the most wonderful aspects of our daily life, because we have managed to deduce from a succession of events a law of cyclic recurrence, nevertheless there often passes through that cycle a phenomenon which puts all our wisdom to shame, and which, in our stupid obstinacy, we refuse to believe because we are unable to comprehend it.”
― E.T.A. Hoffmann, The Devil's Elixirs

“Of course the miraculous resides in the mundane, for the genius of the mundane is that it is never filled with any of itself. And because it is not, it has ample space to house something as miraculous as the miraculous.”
― Craig D. Lounsbrough

“Faith does not, in the realist, spring from the miracle but the miracle from faith. If the realist once believes, then he is bound by his very realism to admit the miraculous also. The Apostle Thomas said that he would not believe till he saw, but when he did see he said, "My Lord and my God!" Was it the miracle forced him to believe? Most likely not, but he believed solely because he desired to believe and possibly he fully believed in his secret heart even when he said, "I do not believe till I see.”
― Fyodor Dostoyevski, The Brothers Karamazov

“You can take her to any place in the world, she will survive. A woman of faith can handle any situation because external environments do not determine her survival. She depends upon the miraculous power of God.”
― Gift Gugu Mona, Woman of Virtue: Power-Filled Quotes for a Powerful Woman

“Creation is always miraculous and awesome.
It is the eyes of the beholder that judges
one as perfect and another as imperfect.
In the eyes of the Creator, All are equal.”

“She isn't sure how long they sit like that, the two of them side by side, lost in their own thoughts, but it's a soft scratching sound that brings her attention back to the clearing. Opening her eyes, she looks across to where they had left the prone bird and is startled to see the hawk no longer lying beneath the leaf litter but standing upright, its head cocked, one beady orange eye peering at her with suspicion. "Look," she whispers, reaching for Jack's arm.
Jack follows her gaze. The bird studies them a moment then hops clumsily away through the leaves towards the base of a tree. Lillian holds her breath, watching as it half-extends one wing. It hops a few more paces but it looks off-balance, too damaged to fly; but it's as if it hears her thought and determines to prove her wrong for suddenly it stretches out both wings and, in one fluid movement, takes flight across the clearing to land in the lowest branch of a nearby tree. Lillian feels her heart beating in her chest, a heady mix of excitement and elation.
The sparrowhawk perches on the bough, its eye still fixed in their direction before it glides off the branch and sails low across the clearing in a showy swoop before soaring away through the trees and out of sight.
"Well how about that?" says Jack. "Lazarus rises.”
― Hannah Richell, The Peacock Summer

“She believed in the miraculous. Or she had, until she reached an age when, all of a sudden, she realized that the life she was living was, in fact, her life. The clay of her being, so long infinitely malleable, had been formed, hardened into what now seemed a palpable, unchanging object, a shell she inhabited.”
― Robert Goolrick, A Reliable Wife

― Lailah Gifty Akita

― Ruth Ann Oskolkoff, Zin

“We all pass through struggles and sufferings and feel that our faith is being tested. Some of us start having doubts in their faiths, but doubt is not lack of faith; it is questioning why certain difficult situations persist . But through our inner faith, we will not stumble and fall; there is an external miraculous force which will always bring us back on our feet.”
― Nadine Sadaka Boulos

“Praise God for his mighty miraculous deeds.”
― Lailah Gifty Akita

“Miracles are hidden in plain sight because we have too often assumed the miraculous to be plain, and that will certainly cause the loss of sight.”

“Passing through this door [between the material world and the spritual world, by becoming victorious over the powers of Darkness and Ignorance, man] comes above the ideational creation of Darkness, Maya, and entering into the spiritual world, receives the true Light. Thus man overcomes all bondage of Darkness, Maya and becomes possessed by all aiswaryas, the ascetic majesties:

[1] Anima, the power of making one's body or anything else as small as he likes, even as tiny as an atom, anu.

[2] Mahima, the power of magnifying or making one's body or anything else mahat, as large as he likes.

[3] Laghima, the power of making one's body or anything else laghu, as light in weight as he likes.

[4] Garima, the power of making one's body or anything else guru, as heavy as he likes.

[5] Prapti, the power of apti, obtaining anything he likes.

[6] Vasitwa, the power of vasa, bringing anything under control.

[7] Prakamya, the power of satisfying all desires, kama, by irresistible will force.

[8] Isitwa, the power of becoming Isa, Lord, over everything.”
― Yukteswar Giri, The Holy Science

― Craig D. Lounsbrough

“I spend the following seconds reveling in the itch of the grass on the back of my neck, the smeared shine of the stars, the miraculous rise and fall of my own chest. I don't remember crawling out of the river that night... but I remember this feeling, the quiet delirium that comes from not dying when you absolutely should have.”
― Alix E. Harrow, Starling House

“...she'd feared all along that this was too miraculous to be true. People fell into holes and wells, not into the best day of their lives...”
― Stephanie Garber, A Curse for True Love

“Afterward, Marvina and I fried the chicken, and, I tell you, all hell broke loose when Kerresha tasted the meat.
"Oh my God! Holy Jesus and Guadalupe Mary!"
Before Marvina could ask her to stop using the Lord's name in vain, Kerresha leaned back in her chair and feigned a heart attack. "Oh my God! Mmm, mmm mmmmm! Where? What kind of voodoo did you put in this chicken?"
"Ain't no voodoo here in this house," Marvina bucked.
"Yes! There is!" Kerresha licked her fingers. "I promise you. On God." She put a hand on her heart. "This chicken just took me back to the spiritual power of the ancestors."
Marvina was so flattered she couldn't be mad. We both looked at each other and laughed, because, truth be told, this was exactly the reaction people gave the first time they tasted Momma's seasoning on expertly fried chicken.
"Y'all." Kerresha raised both hands in the air like she was getting happy in a holiness church. "Is it the grease? The seasoning? Chickens raised by unicorns?"
"It's the seasoning," my sister and I said simultaneously.
Kerresha swallowed another bite. "Whatever y'all put in that seasoning is a miracle. A double miracle, since it also has the power to make y'all finally both agree on something.”
