“In my opinion what distinguishes the Bible from the other books is its sense of time. Its first concern is to establish a calendar. Then it traces a genealogy. It imposes rhythms, it orders, it operates, it does not abandon the earth where its destiny must be fulfilled and whose own destiny must be fulfilled by it. Its history will be that of men and not of idle gods. The whole spirit must become incarnate and explore the possible.” MenFirstsDoeBookWholeEarthSpiritOrderOpinionDestinyBibleConcernRhythmAbandonFulfilledIdleCalendarsGenealogy Book:The Very Rich Hours of Adrienne Monnier Source: The Very Rich Hours of Adrienne Monnier
“I am not sure that Christ would have been very satisfied to foresee that He would be looked upon principally as a redeemer and nailed forever upon the cross by human ignorance. It seems to me that He above all desired to bring men a message of truth, that He wanted to heal them of their faults by making an appeal to all their energy; He shook them as much as He could, He did not seek to spare them the trouble.” MenHumansHas BeensSeemsWould BeWantedEnergyChristForeverTroubleIgnoranceMessagesCrossesFaultsHealSatisfiedAppealsNot SureSparesRedeemer Book:The Very Rich Hours of Adrienne Monnier Source: The Very Rich Hours of Adrienne Monnier
