John Eldredge
“Now yes, yes, creation sometimes screams a confusing message—fear, pain, grief. Fire burns, rivers flood, winds go hurricane, the earth shudders so hard it levels cities. But you must remember—this was not so in Eden. Mankind fell, surrendering this earth to the evil one. St. Paul says that creation groans for the day of its restoration (see Rom. 8:18–22), making it clear that everything is not as it was meant to be. People come to terrible conclusions when they assume this world is exactly as God intended. (An assumption that has wrought havoc in the sciences.) The earth is broken.
Which only makes the beauty that does flow so generously that much more astounding. And reassuring.”
John Eldredge, Beautiful Outlaw: Experiencing the Playful, Disruptive, Extravagant Personality of Jesus

J.R.R. Tolkien
“The essence of a fallen world is that the best cannot be attained by free enjoyment, or by what is called "self-realization" (usually a nice name for self-indulgence, wholly inimical to the realization of other selves); but by denial, by suffering.”
J.R.R. Tolkien, The Letters of J.R.R. Tolkien

Billy Graham
“Evil and suffering are real . . . They aren’t an illusion, nor are they simply an absence of good. We are fallen creatures living in a fallen world that has been twisted and corrupted by sin, and we all share in its brokenness. Most of all, we share in its tragic legacy of disease and death.”
Billy Graham, Billy graham in quotes

George F. Will
“The columnist gives these words to the longings of an 11-year-old he meets with Tourette's syndrome: "Wisdom is encoded in our common language. We all have, to some extent, a complex, sometimes adversarial, relationship with our physical selves. And I more than most people know that it is correct to say,'I have a body.' There is my body, and then there is ME, trying to make it behave.”
George will, One Man's America: The Pleasures and Provocations of Our Singular Nation

Joyce Rachelle
“If this cursed and fallen world
holds such beauty as what I see,
Imagine the beauty of paradise
that's gladly waiting for me.”
Joyce Rachelle

John Henry Newman
“If I looked into a mirror, and did not see my face, I should have the sort of feeling which actually comes upon me, when I look into this living busy world, and see no reflexion of its Creator.”
John Henry Newman, Apologia Pro Vita Sua

Francis A. Schaeffer
“If we demand, in any of our relationships, either perfection or nothing. we will get the nothing. Only when we have learned this will we be Bible-believing Christians, and only then will we understand something of life. Only then can we be more understanding toward men and show real compassion. Consequently, I would repeat, if in any of our relationships of life we demand perfection or nothing, we will have nothing.”
Francis A. Schaeffer, No Little People

Nick Oliveri
“He was given too much agency in a fallen world.”
Nick Oliveri, The Conjurer

Dr. Lucas D. Shallua

“In this fallen world, we find the opportunity to rise through grace, overcoming the brokenness with resilience and hope”
Dr. Lucas D. Shallua

“Evil is a reminder of the fallen world we live in, but it is also an invitation to seek God's transformative power and find hope in His promises”
Dr. Lucas D. Shallua

Charles Martin
“Scars are just the body's response to things that shouldn't be there. A reminder of the pain.

--MacTHOMAS POCKETS”
Charles Martin, The Last Exchange

Md. Naeem Aziz
“In the midst of the chaos, King Dastur and Queen Elara summoned their most trusted maidservant, Lyra. With tears in their eyes, they handed her their precious child. Dastur's voice was firm but filled with emotion as he spoke, "Take our son and flee. Keep him safe. Reveal his true identity to no one." Lyra, a loyal and resourceful servant, nodded, understanding the gravity of her task. She wrapped the baby in a thick cloak and with a final glance at her beloved king and queen, slipped out through a hidden passageway.”
