The Awful Grace of God

October 6th, 2004 by Funky Dung

I discovered this Aeschylus quote while watching a PBS special about Robert Kennedy. It spoke to me.

"He who learns must suffer. And even in our sleep, pain that cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart, and in our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom to us by the awful grace of God."
