Gerald Vann quotes about

depressing christianity aggressive
Nothing is more depressing and more illogical than aggressive Christianity.
heart lost blades-of-grass
The person who knows a great deal about things but has never learnt to see, tends to be assertive; those who have once lost their hearts to a blade of grass or a glowworm and sensed God's omnipresence within them are at least on the road to reverence.
