P. Lovecraft

So what can you do to stop yourself from tilting and falling all over again? ~Amy Tan

#quotes #william-falconer #navy #ships
What exists is a godly existence, a divine existence. God not as a person but as a presence certainly exists. But to understand that presence, you have to understand your own inner presence first, because it is from there that you can take off, it is from there that you can have the first glimpse of what godliness is. If you have not known yourself you will never know God. ~Rajneesh
