God Quote by Anya Seton — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“Truth is naturally universal...and shines into many different windows, though many are clouded.”

“The mountains are great stone bells; they clang together like nuns. Who shushed the stars? There are a thousand million galaxies easily seen in the Palomar reflector; collisions between and among them do, of course, occur. But these collisions are very long and silent slides. Billions of stars sift amont each other untouched, too distant even to be moved, heedless as always, hushed. The sea pronounces something, over and over, in a hoarse whisper; I cannot quite make it out. But God knows I have tried.”

“Were the judgments of mankind correct, custom would be regulated by the good. But it is often far otherwise in point of fact; for, whatever the many are seen to do, forthwith obtains the force of custom. But human affairs have scarcely ever been so happily constituted as that the better course pleased the greater number. Hence the private vices of the multitude have generally resulted in public error, or rather that common consent in vice which these worthy men would have to be law.”

“The men-first hierarchy delivered as advertised. Organizing God is so vulnerable to human corruption, it should be the most terrifying venture on earth to attempt. No one means for it to, but add power, money, and arbitrary rules of engagement to any pure thing, and attrition is inevitable.”

“And if there is no god?”

“There is no sin too great for God's grace. There is no habit too big for his healing. There is no label too strong for his love.”
