    Ami Loper
    “Jesus is telling us that redemption is more than having our sins forgiven; it is an intimate relationship He came to restore between us and God. If we are going to live out the first and greatest commandment of loving God completely (Matt. 22:36-37), this is the type of experiential intimacy which ought to be the objective of our lives.”
    ― Ami Loper, Constant Companion: Your Practical Path to Real Interaction with God

“What’s going…...” but he never finished the sentence. Brown felt a sharp pain on the
side of his head and everything went black.”

    Edwin A. Abbott
    “This omnividence, as you call it—it is not a common word in Spaceland—does it make you more just, more merciful, less selfish, more loving? Not in the least. Then how does it make you more divine?

    I. "More merciful, more loving!" But these are the qualities of women!”

    Simon W. Clark
    “An overhead light blinked and extinguished.
    Armitage drew the pistol with his right hand. He swung and aimed, checking there were no innocent people obstructing the way. None. Fired a single shot. It sailed over a plant and table setting. The round hit an inch from the watcher's heart. On impact the brown-haired assailant tipped. Jake ducked. A table toppled. The watcher groaned as the force of the momentum pushed him toward the floor-to-ceiling glass wall.
    A second table collapsed, plates thrown asunder. Jake stepped forward, arm stretched and gun straight. A waitress hugged herself, crying. Two more male patrons hit the floor and crawled between chairs.”

    “Does everyone here grow the way you do?’ puffed Milo when he had caught up.

    ‘Almost everyone,’ replied Alec, and then he stopped a moment and thought. ‘Now and then, though, someone does begin to grow differently. Instead of down, his feet grow up toward the sky. But we do our best to discourage awkward things like that.’

    ‘What happens to them?’ insisted Milo.

    ‘Oddly enough, they often grow ten times the size of everyone else,’ said Alec thoughtfully, ‘and I’ve heard that they walk among the stars.”
    ― Norton Juster, The Phantom Tollbooth
