When we are young we think our troubles a mighty business, that the world is spread out expressly as a stage for the particular drama of our lives and that we have a right to rant and foam at the mouth if we are crossed. I have done enough of that in my time. ~George Eliot
#quotes #george-eliot #youth

What exists is a godly existence, a divine existence. God not as a person but as a presence certainly exists.

If you have not known yourself you will never know God. ~Rajneesh
