Cormac McCarthyThe soul might be silent but the servant of the soul has always got a voice and it has got one for a reason.
About This Quote
When we talk about the soul, we are often speaking about the part of us that makes us who we are and that makes us most human. However, we don’t always talk about the voice that the soul gives to the servant. The servant is what is most important, not the soul. The idea of the servant is to serve the soul and to help it express itself in a way that makes it feel strong and proud.
We all have a voice where we can talk about our deepest thoughts and feelings, and this voice comes from the servant. Some people find it easy to find their voice while others find it hard to find it. When we find our voice we often feel free and happy.
