made quotes

   I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well. My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.

-Bible (Old Testament)

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not anything made that was made.

-Bible (NewTestament)

Todo se ha escrito, todo se ha dicho, todo se ha hecho, oyo¤   Dios que le dec|¤an y a u¤ n no hab|¤a creado el mundo, todav|¤a no hab|¤a nada.Tambie¤  n eso ya me lo han dicho, repuso quiza¤   desde la vieja, hendida Nada.Ycomenzo¤  . Everything has been written, everything has been said, everything has been made: that's what God heard before creating the world, when there was nothing yet. I have also heard that one, he may have answered from the old, split Nothingness. And then he began.

-Ferna¤ n dez, Macedonio
