God Quote by Leslie Stephen — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“This is one reason people need to believe in God—because we want someone to know us, truly, all the way through, even the worst of us.”

“But his mind saw nothing of all this. His mind was engaged in a warfare of the gods. His mind paced outwards over no-man's-land, over the fields of the slain, paced to the rhythm of the blood's red bugles. To be alone and evil! To be a god at bay. What was more absolute?”

“If God didn't want you to be a dreamer, He wouldn't go around handing out dreams! That's a clue!”

“If we’re lucky, God blesses us with a few folks who are willing to look beyond the flaws and see the person we try so hard to hide. And if we’re blessed, we find someone who’ll love us anyway.”

“Only God would adore his own death.”

“If faith never encounters doubt, if truth never struggles with error, if good never battles evil, how can faith know its own power? In my own pilgrimage, if I had to choose between a faith that has stared doubt in the eye and made it blink, or a naive faith that has never known the firing line of doubt, I will choose the former every time.”
