More quotes by Anne Isabella Thackeray Ritchie
Some very dull and sad people have genius though the world may not count it as such a genius for love, or for patience, or for prayer, maybe. We know the divine spark is here and there in the world: who shall say under what manifestations, or humble disguise!
Anne Isabella Thackeray Ritchie
