Gerard Manley Hopkins Thinking Quotations

For I think it is the case with genius that it is not when quiescent so very much above mediocrity as the difference between the two might lead us to think, but that it has the power and privilege of rising from that level to a height utterly far from mediocrity: in other words that its greatness is that it can be so great.

I think that the trivialness of life is, and personally to each one, ought to be seen to be, done away with by the Incarnation.
