George MacDonald
If you care to see God, be pure. If you will not be pure, you will grow more and more impure.
George MacDonald

George MacDonald
All that man sees has to do with man. Worlds cannot be without an intermundane relationship. The community of the centre of all creation suggests an interradiating connection and dependence of the parts. Else a grander idea is conceivable than that which is already embodied.
George MacDonald
You must learn to be strong in the dark as well as in the day, else you will always be only half brave.
George MacDonald
There is an aching that is worse than any pain.
George MacDonald
