The Very Thing I Sought

"The very thing I sought everywhere else seeks me incessantly, and gives itself to me by means of all created things."

Jean-Pierre de Caussade

If at Bottom

"If there were no eternal consciousness in a man, if at the bottom of everything there were only a wild ferment, a power that twisting in dark passions produced everything great or inconsequential; if an unfathomable, insatiable emptiness lay hid beneath everything, what would life be but despair?"

Soren Kierkegaard, Fear and Trembling
