George MacDonald Quotes

But I Withhold My Pen; For Vain Were The Fancy, By Treatise Or Sermon Or Poem Or Tale, To Persuade A Man To Forget Himself. He Cannot If He Would. Sooner Will He Forget The Presence Of A Raging Tooth. There Is No Forgetting Of Ourselves But In The Finding Of Our Deeper, Our True Self -- God's Idea Of Us When He Devised Us -- The Christ In Us. Nothing But That Self Can Displace The False, Greedy, Whining Self, Of Which, Most Of Us Are So Fond And Proud. And That Self No Man Can Find For Himself; Seeing Of Himself He Does Not Even Know What To Search For.
