Baby Quote by Vincent Van Gogh
“If one feels the need of something grand, something infinite, something that makes one feel aware of God, one need not go far to find it. I think that I see something deeper, more infinite, more eternal than the ocean in the expression of the eyes of a little baby when it wakes in the morning and coos or laughs because it sees the sun shining on its cradle.”

![“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)
