Adorning the Dark by Andrew       Peterson

This book makes me long to get Home. Some of the advice is definitely geared most toward songwriters (which I am not) but I am grateful for a book on creativity that leans me toward heaven and why the ache comes on.

4.5 stars! The Calamity Club is not at all what I expected it to be, but is no worse the wear for it. The pacing is interesting - it is both fast and slow-paced and this is maybe my only complaint? Over all though, I loved most of the characters and ...more

Quotes by Rachel Heffington  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Sure, at heart I wanted to be a Dickens, but I hated being great on command.”
― Rachel Heffington, Fly Away Home

“Callie, if you never think of the present then you can never do a thing about the future. The future's just made up on dozens of right-nows strung together.”
― Rachel Heffington, Fly Away Home

“Because prayer is the best way to set a wrong thing right again. Admitting I don't have the answers. Asking the One who does for a bit of clarity. Putting myself back in my proper place in the universe.”
― Rachel Heffington, Fly Away Home

“And what would you do, if an uninvited dwarf came and hung his things up in your hall without a word of explanation?”
― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Hobbit, or There and Back Again

“I listened wide-eyed, stupid. Glowing by her voice in the dim light. If chocolate was a sound, it would've been Constantine's voice singing. If singing was a color, it would've been the color of that chocolate.”
― Kathryn Stockett, The Help

“I come home that morning, after I been fired, and stood outside my house with my new work shoes on. The shoes my mama paid a month's worth a light bill for. I guess that's when I understood what shame was and the color of it too. Shame ain't black, like dirt, like I always thought it was. Shame be the color of a new white uniform your mother ironed all night to pay for, white without a smudge or a speck a work-dirt on it.”
― Kathryn Stockett, The Help
tags: shame

“Womens, they ain't like men. A woman ain't gone beat you with a stick. Miss Hilly wouldn't pull no pistol on me. Miss Leefolt wouldn't come burn my house down. No, white womens like to keep they hands clean. They got a shiny little set of tools they use, sharp as witches' fingernails, tidy and laid out neat, like the picks on a dentist tray. They gone take they time with em.”
― Kathryn Stockett, The Help

“Fantasy is escapist, and that is its glory. If a soldier is imprisioned by the enemy, don't we consider it his duty to escape?. . .If we value the freedom of mind and soul, if we're partisans of liberty, then it's our plain duty to escape, and to take as many people with us as we can!”
― J.R.R. Tolkien
