Believe Quote by Scott Derrickson

“I wasn't born into a religious home, but I was just not a materialist. I didn't believe the material world was all there was or, even, most of what there was. I always felt that I was part of a reality of which the majority was unseen.” quote by Scott Derrickson — Download Open image
