Beings Quote by Dean Koontz
““the divine has taken a few steps back from humankind, perhaps in revulsion, perhaps because we don't deserve to look directly upon holy beings anymore… When the divine enters the world these days from outside of time, it manifests discreetly through children and animals.””
