    Mary Doria Russell
    “As many as thirty or as few as ten years later, lying exhausted and still, eyes open in the dark long after the three suns of Rakhat had set, no longer bleeding, past the vomiting, enough beyond the shock to think again, it would occur to Emilio Sandoz to wonder if perhaps that day int he Sudan was really only part of the setup for a punchline a life-time in the making. It was an odd thought, under the circumstances. He understood that, even at the time. But thinking it, he realized with appalling clarity that on his journey of discovery as a Jesuit, he had not merely been the first human being to set foot on Rhakhat, had not simply explored parts of its largest continent and learned two of its languages and loved some of its people. He had also discovered the outermost limit of faith and, in doing so had located the exact boundary of despair. It was at that moment that he learned, truly, to fear God.”
    Mary Doria Russell, The Sparrow

    James Redfield
    “It says that whenever people cross our paths, there is always a message for us. Chance encounters do not exist. But how we respond to these encounters determines whether we’re able to receive the message. If we have a conversation with someone who crosses our path and we do not see a message pertaining to our current questions, it does not mean there was no message. It only means we missed it for some reason.”
    James Redfield, The Celestine Prophecy

    J. Rose Black
    “Callan sucked in a breath. As a sniper, he’d been trained by the Marines to know and recognize moments. 

    Moments when all the training—his focused mind, muscle memory, weapon knowledge . . . 

    When all the preparation—target reconnaissance, angle of attack, position scouting . . . 

    When all the setup—hidden amid the terrain, barrel aimed, trajectory known . . . 

    When everything came together in one crucial moment—when the sniper squeezed the trigger and took his shot.”
    J. Rose Black, Losing My Breath
