Cynicism Quote by Elizabeth Lesser

“If spirituality is not religion or cynicism or sentimentality or narcissism, then what is it?... we can confidently say... that spirituality is fearlessness. It is a way of looking boldly at this life we have been given, here, now, on earth, as this human being.” quote by Elizabeth Lesser — Download Open image
