Parker J. Palmer
“embracing one's wholeness makes life more demanding--because once you do that, you must live your whole life. One of the most painful discoveries I made in the midst of the dark woods of depression was that a part of me wanted to stay depressed. As long as I clung to this living death, life became easier; little was expected of me, certainly not serving others.”
Parker J. Palmer, Let Your Life Speak: Listening for the Voice of Vocation

Fyodor Dostoevsky
“I want to see with my own eyes the hind lie down with the lion and the victim rise up and embrace his murderer.”
Fyodor Dostoyevsky, The Grand Inquisitor

C.S. Lewis
“The best is perhaps what we understand the least.”
C.S. Lewis, A Grief Observed

Ursula K. Le Guin
“Things don't have purposes, as if the universe were a machine, where every part has a useful function. What's the function of a galaxy? I don't know if our life has a purpose and I don't see that it matters. What does matter is that we're a part. Like a thread in a cloth or a grass-blade in a field. It is and we are. What we do is like wind blowing on the grass.”
Ursula K. Le Guin, The Lathe of Heaven

G.K. Chesterton
“The wise old fairy tales never were so silly as to say that the prince and the princess lived peacefully ever afterwards. The fairy tales said that the prince and princess lived happily ever afterwards; and so they did. They lived happily, although it is very likely that from time to time they threw the furniture at each other.”
G. K. Chesterton
