C.s. LewisIf I discover within myself a desire which no experience in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that I was made for another world.
About This Quote
This quote, by the American poet and playwright, Emily Dickinson, captures the depth of love that people feel for God. Everyone wants to know what happens when we die. Many don’t even want to contemplate the thought of death. Most think that death is something that only happens to other people and not to them.
They do not want to accept that they will cease to exist once their physical body stops functioning. This quote reminds us that we were not born for this world but we were made for another world and we will inevitably rise again once we die.
