Well Said: Accepting the Universe

From my quote journal.
"I accept the universe" is reported to have been a favorite utterance of our New England Transcendentalist, Margaret Fuller; and when someone repeated this phrase to Thomas Carlyle, his sardonic comment is said to have been: "Gad, she'd better!"
William James
The Varieties of Religious Experience
