Motivational Quotes

God

EVERY path may lead you to God, even the weird ones. Most of us are on a journey. WeÆre looking for something, though weÆre not always sure what that is. The way is foggy much of the time. I suggest you slow down and follow some of the side roads that appear suddenly in the mist.

Everything that is doddering, squint-eyed, vile, polluted and grotesque is summoned up for me in that one word: God!

Matthias
