“Anyone who tries to fit the Truth of God into a form comprehensible to men’s minds must bend it, maim it, and ultimately destroy it. We cannot shrink the truth to fit our ignorance, and anyone who tries to apply rigorous logic to the gospel of Christ ends up with nothing. “We preach Christ crucified, to the Jews a stumbling block and to the Greeks foolishness” (1 Corinthians 1:23).”
― David R. Smith, Mary, Worthy of All Praise: Reflections on the Virgin Mary

“When I was younger, before I met Derek, I would hear stories about women stuck in abusive relationships. I never understood why any of them stayed. I thought they were foolish or weak. It never made sense to me until it became my life.”
― Freida McFadden, Do Not Disturb

“You can have malice towards other life forms other than humans. This, though somewhat contentious, could be said to be involved when eating animal products. Why? Anyone eating them is only doing so out of desire rather than need and this desire involves the doing of harm.”
― Edwin Page, The Vegan Christian: Why Christianity Should Embrace Veganism

“Water does not resist. Water flows. When you plunge your hand into it, all you feel is a caress. Water is not a solid wall, it will not stop you. But water always goes where it wants to go, and nothing in the end can stand against it. Water is patient. Dripping water wears away a stone. Remember that, my child. Remember you are half water. If you can't go through an obstacle, go around it. Water does.”
― Margaret Atwood, The Penelopiad
