“I took Eugene Sue's Arthur from the reading-room. It's indescribable, enough to make you vomit. You have to read this to realize the pitifulness of money, success, and the public. Literature has become consumptive. It spits and slobbers, covers its blisters with salve and sticking-plaster, and has grown bald from too much hair-slicking. It would take Christ of art to cure this leper.” WritingArtEnoughReadingLiteratureChristRealizingRoomsToo MuchHairCuresSpitArthurIndescribableLeperPlastersBlistersReading Room Author:Gustave Flaubert

“Christ heals with more ease than any other. Christ makes the devil go out with a word (Mark 9:25). Nay, he can cure with a look: Christ's look melted Peter into repentance; it was a healing look. If Christ doth but cast a look upon the soul he can recover it. Therefore David prays to have a look from God, 'Look Thou upon me, and be merciful unto me' (Psalm 119:132).” IfsLooksSoulChristHealingChristianityPrayingDevilMarkCastsHealCuresEaseLook UpRepentancePeterMercifulPsalms Book:Extracts from the Writings of Thomas Watson Source: Extracts from the Writings of Thomas Watson
