Quote by George MacDonald

“Don't you sometimes find it hard to remember God all through your work?" asked Clementina. "I don't try to consciously remember Him every moment. For He is in everything, whether I am thinking of it or not. When I go fishing, I go to catch God's fish. When I take Kelpie out, I am teaching one of God's wild creatures. When I read the Bible or Shakespeare, I am listening to the word of God, uttered in each after its own kind. When the wind blows on my face, it is God's wind.”

“But what offering can I consecrate to you, oh Master? - You, who have bestowed hearing upon all creatures? - My memory of one spring day, In the evening, in Russia, - a stallion ... Running alone from the hamlet across to us The pale horse, a tethering-peg dangling from his fetlock, To spend a night solitary in the meadow; How he shook his tangled mane, Tossed in time to his haughty step, Despite his clumsily impeded gallop. How the fountains leapt up of his charger’s blood! He intuited the vastnesses and, oh from that He sang! He heard! - yes, your cycle of legends Was embraced within him. His image: that I offer.”

“Kama miaka 1000 ya duniani ni sawa na siku moja ya Mungu; hivyo basi, miaka 930 aliyoishi Adamu ni sawa na siku 0.93 au saa 22:32 za Mungu. Kwa hiyo, ili siku ya Mungu itimie Adamu alipaswa kuishi miaka 70 (siku 0.07 au saa 1:68) zaidi! Ukiidadavua saa 1:68 unapata saa 2:08. Kulingana na muda wa mbinguni tunapaswa kuishi kwa muda wa saa 2:08! Muda huo ni mfupi sana.”

“Because there were times when one found themselves in perfect harmony with another being. Like after one had taken a risk, faced their biggest fear, and found themselves blinking in the dust as a wall crumbled before of them. Like making love to the love of one’s life, followed by the perfect evening of constellation watching. And he finally understood, despite all the constellations placed in the sky as warning, why all those Greek maidens gave it up in the end. It was because all the pain endured was nothing compared to what love was worth. Love was the beginning of everything.”
