Willa CatherReligion is different from everything else because in religion seeking is finding.
About This Quote
In the world of religion, seeking is finding. In religion, seeking is finding. In fact, religious people are those who seek and find, those who know what they want and know where to go for it. The religious person is not averse to searching for something that will fill a lack or fill a need, but instead is averse to finding something that will leave a void inside.
The religious person is not one who looks for something new because he has found old wine in new bottles. He does not look for new things because he has found old things in new places.
