According to the mystics, this search for divine bliss is the entire purpose of a human life. This is why we all chose to be born, and this is why all the pain and suffering of life on earth is worthwhile-just for the chance to experience this infinite love. And once you have found this divinity within, can you hold it? Because if you can...bliss. Elizabeth Gilbert (in Eat Pray Love)
What connection can there have been between many people in the innumerable histories of this world, who, from opposite sides of great gulfs, have, nevertheless, been very curiously brought together! Charles Dickens (in Bleak House )
