Quote by Elizabeth Goudge

“Do you think all beauty is just the evidence of things not seen, David?’ she had asked. ‘If it’s anything it’s that,’ he had said. ‘I should say that faith is the belief in something that you don’t understand yet, and beauty is the evidence that the thing is there”

“I took my time, running my fingers along the spines of books, stopping to pull a title from the shelf and inspect it. A sense of well-being flowed through me as I circled the ground floor. It was better than meditation or a new pair of shoes- or even chocolate. My life was a disaster, but there were still books. Lots and lots of books. A refuge. A solace. Each one offering the possibility of a new beginning.”
