Commonplace Book

'"...Men now have neither gods nor kings nor idols. They have sunk lower than the heathen - for the heathen has never yet bowed down in adoration before his own individuality. He chose something which at least seemed to him more powerful than himself. Prayer has recently been defined as a reference to one's higher self! But one's 'higher self' is the soul, and the soul belongs to God..."'

from The School for Saints by John Oliver Hobbes (Book II, Chapter XXIII)
