Quote by Mary Caroline Richards

Am I willing to give up what I have in order to be what I am not yet? Am I able to follow the spirit of love into the desert? It is a frightening and sacred moment. There is no return. One's life is charged forever. It is the fire that gives us our shape.

Am I willing to give up what I have in order to be what I am

Summary

This quote reflects on the willingness and ability to let go of one's current state or possessions in order to pursue personal growth and becoming something different. It poses a question about one's readiness to step outside of their comfort zone and embrace the unknown. The mention of following the "spirit of love into the desert" signifies embarking on a challenging and transformative journey. The quote emphasizes the critical nature of this decision, as once one chooses to pursue change, it becomes irreversible and forever alters the path of their life, shaping them like fire molds and gives shape to objects.

Christianity is strange. It bids man recognise that he is vile, even abominable, and bids him desire to be like God. Without such a counterpoise, this dignity would make him horribly vain, or this humiliation would make him terribly abject.
