Quote

Your enjoyment of the world is never right, till every morning you awake in Heaven: see yourself in your Father's palace; and look upon the skies, the earth, and the air as celestial joys: having such a reverend esteem of all, as if you were among the angels.

I never loved the world around me as it was.

I like the world.

The whole world appears to me like a huge vacuum, a vast empty space, whence nothing desirable, or at least satisfactory, can possibly be derived; and I long daily to die more and more to it; even though I obtain not that comfort from spiritual things which I earnestly desire.

The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

Being out there in the ocean, God's creation, it's like a gift He has given us to enjoy.

I think you're put here on earth to enjoy yourself. And I'm doing that.

The world rolls round forever like a mill; it grinds out death and life and good and ill; it has no purpose, heart or mind or will.
