George MacDonald Quotes
Society Is Neither My Master Nor My Servant, Neither My Father Nor My Sister; And So Long As She Does Not Bar My Way To The Kingdom Of Heaven, Which Is The Only Society Worth Getting Into, I Feel No Right To Complain Of How She Treats Me. I Have No Claim On Her; I Do Not Acknowledge Her Laws--hardly Her Existence, And She Has No Authority Over Me. Why Should She, How Could She, Constituted As She Is, Receive Such As Me? The Moment She Did So, She Would Cease To Be What She Is; And, If All Be True That One Hears Of Her, She Does Me A Kindness In Excluding Me. What Can It Matter To Me, Letty, Whether They Call Me A Lady Or Not, So Long As Jesus Says "Daughter" To Me?
