Quotes by Maxine Clair (?)

“Grace just is. Nobody can explain it, and it's not something you can deserve. Whether you recognize it or not, whether you feel grateful for it or not, it just is. Guilty or innocent, condemned or redeemed, when you think that you can't go on, and when you think you've already gone on, grace is wider and deeper than you think, and it can change far more that you ever imagined.

There is no place where anything begins or ends, but by grace, everything comes in it's time.”
― Maxine Clair, October Suite: A Novel
