Soul Quotes

“I am living a new and exalted life of late. It steeps me in a sacred rapture to see a portrait develop and take soul under my hand.

“When every event was a miracle, when there was no order or system or law, there was no occasion for studying any subject, or being interested in anything excepting a religion which took care of the soul. As man doubted the primitive conceptions about religion, and no longer accepted the literal, miraculous teachings of ancient books, he set himself to understand nature.”
