Quote by Dorothy L. Sayers

Except ye become as little children, except you can wake on your fiftieth birthday with the same forward-looking excitement and interest in life that you enjoyed when you were five, ye cannot enter the kingdom of God. One must not only die daily, but every day we must be born again.

Except ye become as little children, except you can wake on

Summary

This quote emphasizes the importance of maintaining a childlike wonder and enthusiasm throughout life. It suggests that in order to truly reach a state of enlightenment or spiritual growth, individuals must approach each day with the same curiosity and eagerness they had in their early years. Just as we must let go of our past selves and embrace personal growth daily, this quote suggests that a continual rebirth and renewal is necessary to enter the "kingdom of God" or achieve spiritual fulfillment.

To find Margo Roth Spiegelman, you must become Margo Roth Spiegelman. And I had done many of the things she might have done: I had engineered a most unlikely prom coupling. I had quieted the hounds of caste warfare. I had come to feel comfortable inside the rat-infested haunted house where she did her best thinking. I had seen. I had listened. But I could not yet become the wounded person.
