About this Quote

This quote by Dorothy L. Sayers talks to the idea that we can not genuinely understand the love of God until we comprehend our very own improbity. It suggests that we should discover this lesson via experience, rather than being instructed it. This suggests that we have to undergo our very own battles as well as challenges in order to genuinely recognize the love of God. It is just via these experiences that we can come to terms with our own improbity and appreciate the love of God. This quote urges us to look within ourselves and to pick up from our very own experiences in order to understand the love of God. It is just via this understanding that we can genuinely value the love of God and also the elegance that He offers us.
