"If you don’t feel that you are possibly on the edge of humiliating yourself, of losing control of the whole thing, then probably what you are doing isn’t very vital."
— John Irving (via
wrists)
(via quote-book)
Most people would agree that having one or both of your parents say “I’m proud of you” is one of the best feelings in the world.
Now picture being in heaven and hearing God say it.
"You have never talked to a mere mortal. Nations, cultures, arts, civilizations — these are mortal, and their life is to ours as the life of a gnat. But it is immortals whom we joke with, work with, marry, snub, and exploit — immortal horrors or everlasting splendors."
— C.S. Lewis
