Jesus' spirit in me...

It is no good giving me a play like Hamlet or King Lear and telling me to write a play like that. Shakespeare could do it, I can't.

And it is no good showing me a life like the life of Jesus and telling me to live a life like that. Jesus could do it, I can't.

But if the genius of Shakespeare could come and live in me, then I could write plays like this. And if the Spirit could come into me, then I could live a life like His.

—William Temple (1881-1944), Archbishop of Canterbury
