Annals Of A Quiet Neighbourhood - Vol. I Quotes

“I am certain that he both thought and worked better, because he both thought and worked.”
― George MacDonald, Annals Of A Quiet Neighbourhood - Vol. I

“I am now getting old—faster and faster. I cannot help my gray hairs, nor the wrinkles that gather so slowly yet ruthlessly; no, nor the quaver that will come in my voice, not the sense of being feeble in the knees, even when I walk only across the floor of my study. But I have not got used to age yet. I do not FEEL one atom older than I did at three-and-twenty. Nay, to tell all the truth, I feel a good deal younger.—For then I only felt that a man had to take up his cross; whereas now I feel that a man has to follow Him; and that makes an unspeakable difference.”
~George MacDonald, “Annals of a Quiet Neighbohood”
