“Sometimes you are in the middle of your destiny before you even know it has begun.”
Sarah Holman

“But if a man truly loved you, he would see the beauty that lies much deeper than those scars.”
Sarah Holman, Waltz into the Waves: A Cinderella Story

Sarah Holman, If He Lives

Topics Mentioning This Author

“If we find ourselves with a desire that nothing in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that we were made for another world.”
C.S. Lewis

“Great characters tell their own stories. The author just writes it down for them.”
Molly Evangeline

“Friendship ... is born at the moment when one man says to another "What! You too? I thought that no one but myself . . .”
C.S. Lewis, The Four Loves

“I was the lion who forced you to join with Aravis. I was the cat who comforted you among the houses of the dead. I was the lion who drove the jackals from you while you slept. I was the lion who gave the horses the new strength of fear for the last mill so that you should reach King Lune in time. And I was the lion you do not remember who pushed the boat in which you lay, a child near death, so that it came to shore where a man sat, wakeful at midnight, to receive you.”
C.S. Lewis

“I don't think I have the faith to believe in Elohim."
"But He Always believes in you.”
Molly Evangeline
