Badness you can get easily, in quantity; the road is smooth, and it lies close by, But in front of excellence the immortal gods have put sweat, and long and steep is the way to it.
  Hesiod
I was born out of due time in the sense that by temperament and talent I should have been more suited for the life of a small Bach, living in anonymity and composing regularly for an established service and for God.
Igor Stravinsky
But I always think that the best way to know God is to love many things.

Thomas Kempis
The feeling remains that God is on the journey, too.

A spirit is, like, your mother, my dad, who've made it. They can come around, but they come around in a loving way because they've already made it to God. Most people make it.
Sylvia Browne

To surrender to ignorance and call it God has always been premature, and it remains premature today.
