"I saw God, and she's black."

"The images of God have a far more powerful effect upon our emotions than our ideas. And when people read the (b)ible, and sing hymns; Ancient of Days who sittest throned in glory, Immortal, Invisible God only wise, in light inaccessible hid from our eyes...We've still got that fellow up there, with a beard on. It's way in the back of the emotions. And so, we should think first of all, in contrary imagery. And the contrary imagery is: she's black." -- Alan Watts.
