Quote by Thomas Wolfe

Is this not the true romantic feeling; not to desire to escape life, but to prevent life from escaping you.

Is this not the true romantic feeling; not to desire to esca

Summary

This quote expresses the idea that true romanticism lies not in trying to escape or avoid reality, but in actively engaging with and cherishing every moment of life. Rather than seeking to run away from the trials and uncertainties of life, it suggests the importance of fully immersing oneself in the present and making the most of every experience. It is an invitation to appreciate and embrace the beauty and essence of life, understanding that it can slip away all too quickly if not actively held onto and nurtured.

Love all God's creation, the whole and every grain of sand of it. Love every leaf, every ray of God's light. Love the animals, love the plants, love everything. If you love everything, you will perceive the divine mystery in things. Once you perceive it, you will begin to comprehend it better every day. And you will come at last to love the whole world with an all-embracing love.
