George MacDonald
Image
If there be music in my reader, I would gladly wake it.
George MacDonald
Image
I know my Easts and Tom Brown, you see, and they're never happy unless their morality is being tried in the furnace and they can feel they are doing the right Christian thing and never mind the consequences to anyone else.
George MacDonald
Image
Affliction is but the shadow of God's wing.
George MacDonald
Image
And her life will perhaps be the richer, for holding now within it the memory of what came, but could not stay.
George MacDonald
Image
Age is not all decay it is the ripening, the swelling, of the fresh life within, that withers and bursts the husk.
George MacDonald
Image
