Our lives must be spent seeking our God, for God hides; but His artifices, once they be known, seem so simple and smiling! From that moment, the merest nothing reveals His presence, and the greatness of our life depends on so little.

Additional quotes by Maurice Maeterlinck

"نويسنده كتاب "عقل الملل" نوشته است كه : "با دنيا همانطور كه هست كنار بيائيد."
ولی اگر ما همانطوری كه دنيا هست با او كنار می آمديم هنوز تمدن ما نظير تمدن دوره سنگ بود.
خوشبختانه اشخاصی هستند كه با دنيا طور ديگری كنار می آيند و همواره بر خلاف خط سير آن حركت می كنند و در سايه وجود اين اشخاص است كه ما دارای تمدن كنونی شده ايم."

Each man has to seek out his own special aptitude for a higher life in the midst of the humble and inevitable reality of daily existence. Than this there can be no nobler aim in life. It is only by the communications we have with the infinite that we are to be distinguished from each other.
