Rainer Maria Rilke
“I would like to step out of my heart
And go walking beneath the enormous sky.”
Rainer Maria Rilke, The Selected Poetry of Rainer Maria Rilke

Joe Rigney
“The written, authoritative word of God is what keeps us on the right path. It keeps our metaphors and analogies in check. The law of the Lord revives the soul, makes us wise so we don’t say foolish things about God, enlightens our eyes so we see God everywhere, and guards us from error.”
Joe Rigney, Strangely Bright: Can You Love God and Enjoy This World?

E.M. Forster
“As they walked up the garden, the orange cactus fell, and Mr. Beebe’s last vision was of the garden-child clasping it like a lover, his dark head buried in a wealth of blossom.

“It is terrible, this havoc among the flowers,” he remarked.”
E.M. Forster, A Room with a View

Charles Haddon Spurgeon
“Willful ignorance is in itself willful sin, and the evil that comes of it is without excuse.”
Charles Haddon Spurgeon, The Golden Alphabet: An Exposition of Psalm 119

William Manchester
“Later he would say that writing a book “is an adventure. To begin with it is a toy and an amusement. Then it becomes a mistress, then it becomes a master, then it becomes a tyrant. The last phase is that just as you are about to be reconciled to your servitude, you kill the monster and fling him to the public.”
William Manchester, The Last Lion: Visions of Glory 1874-1932
