As it was, every one of the infolds showed an increasingly lighter grey the higher it folded up, and like huge, black udders the outfolds were hanging down. ❋ Frederick Philip Grove (N/A)
Spinoza, and after him Hegel, will teach that the possible infolds, as it were, an essential tendency to existence, and that this tendency is greater in proportion as the possible is perfect. ❋ 1840-1916 (1913)

What history too, and what stores of primitive and savage observation, it infolds! ❋ Unknown (1909)
Thou wilt know every shade of my suffering; thou wilt care for me with thy perfect fatherhood; for that makes my sonship, and inwraps and infolds it. ❋ 1824-1905 (1867)
Alas for girls in a family where the atmosphere of vile thinking, winnowed by the carrion wings of degraded and degrading judgments, infolds them! ❋ George MacDonald (1864)
Ahasuerus; my love infolds and is the nest of all love. ❋ George MacDonald (1864)
-- Jesus stood then in the meeting point of both worlds, or rather in the skirts of the great world that infolds the less. ❋ George MacDonald (1864)
Then I looked to the left, and there stood my old church, as quiet in the dreary day, though not so bright, as in the sunshine: even the graves themselves must look yet more "solemn sad" in a wintry day like this, than they look when the sunlight that infolds them proclaims that God is not the God of the dead but of the living. ❋ George MacDonald (1864)
It needs a revelation, a vision; a something for the higher nature that breeds and infolds the intellect, to recognize as of its own, and lay hold of by faithful hope. ❋ George MacDonald (1864)

At very regular intervals, the proboscis, a tube with thick fleshy walls, is rapidly turned inside out to a certain extent, until a surface is brought into contact with the glass having a silky lustre; this is the tongue; it is moved with a short sweep, and then the tubular proboscis infolds its walls again, the tongue disappearing, and every filament of Conferva being carried up into the interior, from the little area which had been swept. ❋ Various (N/A)
And yet so is our life all one, so is the kingdom of God which surrounds us and infolds us one bright and blessed unity, that when a man has devoted himself to the service of God and his fellow-man, immediately he is thrown back upon his own nature, and he sees now -- it is the right place for him to see -- that he must be the brave, strong, faithful man, because it is impossible for him to do his duty and to render his service, except it is rendered out of a heart that is full of faithfulness, that is brave and true. ❋ Phillips Brooks (1864)
Christian infolds all that can be said, and if it do not import these, it is not true to its own signification nor conformed to Christ’s meaning. ❋ Hugh Binning (1640)
