Famous quotes containing the words experience and/or god:
“I always used to suffer a great deal if I let myself get too close to reality since the definitive world of the everyday with its hard edges and harsh light did not have enough resonance to echo the demands I made upon experience. It was as if I never experienced experience as experience. Living never lived up to the expectations I had of it—the Bovary syndrome.”
—Angela Carter (1942–1992)
“For he purrs in thankfulness, when God tell him he’s a good Cat.
For he is an instrument for the children to learn benevolence upon.”
—Christopher Smart (1722–1771)
