| Quotation | Marvellous books for a few pennies-including The Family of Man for 50 cents. All those fabulous pictures. And again, no refinements and no explanations are necessary! How scandalized some men would be if I said that the whole book is to me a picture of Christ and yet that is the Truth. There, there is Christ in my own Kind, my own Kind-"Kind" which means "likeness" and which meanlove" and which means "child." Mankind |
