Caryll Houselander (d. 1954)

Miss Houselander on modern man:
“He thinks that his bewilderment is caused by lack of knowledge about himself, but here man is wrong; the real source of his bewilderment is lack of knowledge about God…
“Man is constantly haunted by the fear that if he is not loved, he will cease to be; this is not a delusion, it is the truth.  If he were not loved, he would cease to be; he exists only because God wills him to be, and keeps him in being, that he may be the object of his own creative love.”
