About This Quote

Though seemingly simple, this quote is deeply thought provoking. Many people fail to recognize the beauty of this quote because they fail to recognize the true meaning of the words “God” and “circle.” The word “God” can mean many different things depending on where you are in the world. The words “Circle” and “Center” are not as clear cut. One person might believe that God is all-knowing, omnipotent, and all-powerful.

Another person might believe that God is a circle. These two ideas are not mutually exclusive. So what does it mean when someone says, “God is a circle whose center is everywhere and circumference nowhere?”
