For One Second...
“...The expert would seek an answer. The saint seeks a mystery. The expert would gaze well. The saint looks at the face of Christ like an idiot child looks at a bird on his windowsill.
...He gazes to confirm the suspicion that he cannot understand it at all. He gazes for hours to see the face of Christ for one second. He contemplates for years to realize that he has not enough lifetimes to contemplate.”
~Marc Barnes
“If you look at a thing 999 times, you are perfectly safe; if you look at it for the 1,000th time, you are in danger of seeing it for the first time.”
~G. K. Chesterton
