Book cover for The Nightingale
If I have learned anything in this long life of mine, it is this: In love we find out who we want to be; in war we find out who we are.

G.K. Chesterton
“But perhaps God is strong enough to exult in monotony. It is possible that God says every morning, "Do it again" to the sun.; and every evening, "Do it again" to the moon. It may not be automatic monotony that makes all daisies alike; it may be that God makes every daisy separately, but has never gotten tired of making them. It may be that He has the eternal appetite of infancy; for we have sinned and grown old, and our Father is younger than we.”
G.K. Chesterton, Orthodoxy

Paulo Coelho
“When we love, we always strive to become better than we are. When we strive to become better than we are, everything around us becomes better too.”
Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist

Francis Spufford
“We are supposed to be on the side of goodness in the sense that we need it, not that we are it.”
Francis Spufford, Unapologetic: Why, Despite Everything, Christianity Can Still Make Surprising Emotional Sense

T.S. Eliot
“We had the experience but missed the meaning. And approach to the meaning restores the experience in a different form.”
T.S. Eliot

Brené Brown
“we don’t judge people when we feel good about ourselves.”
Brené Brown, Rising Strong: The Reckoning. The Rumble. The Revolution.
