17 Quotes About The-fall

With every morn my life afresh must breakThe crust of self, gathered about me fresh;That thy wind-spirit may rush in and shakeThe darkness out of me, and rend the meshThe spider-devils spin out of the flesh-Eager to net the soul before it wake,That it may slumberous lie, and listen to the snake.George MacDonald

-George MacDonald

    A moral character is attached to autumnal scenes; the leaves falling like our years, the flowers fading like our hours, the clouds fleeting like our illusions, the light diminishing like our intelligence, the sun growing colder like our affections, the rivers becoming frozen like our lives--all bear secret relations to our destinies.

    The master etiology, the story that explains the human condition itself-- the tale that answers life's most agonizing questions about pain and suffering and undeserved struggle-- it is the story on Genesis, chapter 3, which the Christian world calls the Fall. In the Mormon narrative, therefore, circumstances that define the reality of the human predicament are not a blatant choice between Good and Evil but a wrenching decision to be made between competing sets of Good.
