Quote by St. Thomas Aquinas

The soul is like an uninhabited worldthat comes to life only whenGod lays His headagainst us.

The soul is like an uninhabited worldthat comes to life only

Summary

This quote suggests that the soul is dormant until it is engaged or awakened by a connection with a higher power, represented here as God. Just as an uninhabited world comes to life when a divine presence is present, the soul finds meaning, purpose, and vitality when it encounters God. It implies that without this spiritual connection, the soul remains passive and unfulfilled, highlighting the importance of seeking a higher power to fully awaken and cultivate our inner being.

When a man sees a dying animal, horror comes over him: that which he himself is, his essence, is obviously being annihilated before his eyes--is ceasing to be. But when the dying one is a person, and a beloved person, then, besides a sense of horror at the annihilation of life, there is a feeling of severance and a spiritual wound which, like a physical wound, sometimes kills and sometimes heals, but always hurts and fears any external, irritating touch.

People were being so mean as a result of my ability - a gift, really. So I think that's what makes me fight harder to provide an option to aspiring kids or artists.
