Quote by G.K. Chesterton
“Christianity is the only religion on earth that has felt that omnipotence made God incomplete. Christianity alone has felt that God, to be wholly God, must have been a rebel as well as a king.

For the only courage worth calling courage must necessarily mean that the soul passes a breaking point—and does not break.”
