Divine
Divine, born Harris Glenn Milstead, was an American actor, singer and drag queen. Associated with independent filmmaker John Waters, he was a character actor, usually performing female roles in cinematic and theatrical appearances, and adopted a female drag persona for his music career; People magazine described him as the "Drag Queen of the Century". Born in Maryland to a conservative, middle-class family, he embraced the counterculture of the 1960s and became involved with Waters's acting troupe, the Dreamlanders, starring in early Waters films Mondo Trasho, Multiple Maniacs, Pink Flamingos and Female Trouble. Hits on the U.S. midnight movie circuit, the films became cult classics. In the 1970s, Divine moved to theater, appearing with The Cockettes before performing in Women Behind Bars and The Neon Woman. Continuing cinematic work, he starred in Polyester, Lust in the Dust and Hairspray. In 1981 Divine embarked on a disco career producing Hi-NRG tracks, most written by Bobby Orlando, achieving global chart success with hits like "You Think You're a Man", "I'm So Beautiful" and "Walk Like a Man".

Examples of divine in a Sentence
The mind-reading is only a human magical ability and knowledge to figure out someone's thoughts, emotions, and body language while spiritual inspiration comes from divine lights towards blessed people, there is the evil inspiration too. Between that, one has to use his wisdom to see and feel good and the bad.
Truth is beautiful and divine no matter how humble its origin.
Knowledge is acquired,wisdom is inspired. Knowledge is obtained from studying other people's discoveries. But wisdom is directly from divine. Education can give you knowledge, but only meditation can give wisdom . And that's the difference
There is divine beauty in learning, just as there is human beauty in tolerance. To learn means to accept the postulate that life did not begin at my birth. Others have been here before me, and I walk in their footsteps. The books I have read were composed by generations of fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, teachers and disciples. I am the sum total of their experiences, their quests. And so are you.
Jesus, as someone divine, must go.
