Marilynne Robinson Quotes

Ludwig Feuerbach Says A Wonderful Thing About Baptism. I Have It Marked. He Says, 'Water Is The Purest, Clearest Of Liquids; In Virtue Of This, Its Natural Character, It Is The Image Of The Spotless Nature Of The Divine Spirit. In Short, Water Has A Significance In Itself, As Water; It Is On Account Of Its Natural Quality That It Is Consecrated And Selected As The Vehicle Of The Holy Spirit. So Far There Lies At The Foundation Of Baptism A Beautiful, Profound Natural Significance.' Feuerbach Is A Famous Atheist, But He Is About As Good On The Joyful Aspects Of Religion As Anybody, And He Loves The World.
