![“I'm a little frightened, perhaps. We always are, aren't we? When we have to open a door that's always been there...but we've never opened. [...] I mean frightened by the immensity of what lies beyond the door. A God of Love--infinite and eternal. How could I ever be worthy of that?” quote by Tony Hendra](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/9ca/tony-hendra-59219_love_i-m-a-little-frightened-perhaps-we-alway_1982738.jpg)
