10 QUOTES WITH «SUPERNATURAL»

Famous quotes and sentences with the word supernatural.
1
Sarah Addison Allen
Magical realism is a blending of the unusual or supernatural into an otherwise ordinary setting. And, to me, this perfectly describes the South. 'The Sugar Queen' involves a lot of magical happenings, but in a very down-home Southern setting. It's full of things that could almost be true.
2
Alan Ball
In my own life, I think legends of supernatural, mythic things are really just a manifestation of the collective unconscious. So I don't really get freaked out. I mean certainly, you read about things people did to each other in the pursuit of some mystical or occult goal, and it's horrifying. But that's just human nature.
3
Amelia Barr
Whatever the scientists may say, if we take the supernatural out of life, we leave only the unnatural.
4
Michael Behe
It is often said that science must avoid any conclusions which smack of the supernatural.
5
Michael Behe
This fact immediately suggested a singular event - that at some time in the distant past the universe began expanding from an extremely small size. To many people this inference was loaded with overtones of a supernatural event - the creation, the beginning of the universe.
6
Emma Bell
I love really, really deep, dark-as-Russia storylines. I love supernatural aspects. I grew up with ghost stories.
7
Georges Bernanos
Purity is not imposed upon us as though it were a kind of punishment, it is one of those mysterious but obvious conditions of that supernatural knowledge of ourselves in the Divine, which we speak of as faith. Impurity does not destroy this knowledge, it slays our need for it.
8
Georges Bizet
As a musician I tell you that if you were to suppress adultery, fanaticism, crime, evil, the supernatural, there would no longer be the means for writing one note.
9
Andrew Coyle Bradley
Shakespeare also introduces the supernatural into some of his tragedies; he introduces ghosts, and witches who have supernatural knowledge.
10
Francis Chan
When you read the New Testament, you see the Holy Spirit was supposed to change everything so that this gathering of people who call themselves Christians had this supernatural element about them.
