“I am coming to see that the sensation of the worst nightmares, a sensation that can be felt asleep or awake, is identical to those worst dreams’ form itself: the sudden intra-dream realization that the nightmares’ very essence and center has been with you all along, even awake: it’s just been… overlooked; and then that horrific interval between realizing what you’ve overlooked and turning your head to look back at what’s been right there all along, the whole time.”
― David Foster Wallace, Infinite Jest

“If prayer is the greatest achievement on earth, we may be sure it will call for a discipline that corresponds to its power.”

“When God tells Eve that Adam will “rule over her,” he is simply lamenting what is to come. God is not commanding it. His language is descriptive, not prescriptive. Adam naming Eve, putting her in her place, was neither what God ordained nor desired. It is interesting that he names her for what he sees she is good for—having babies.”
― A.J. Swoboda, Subversive Sabbath: The Surprising Power of Rest in a Nonstop World

“I asked the boundless night sky how to find a way back to days long forgotten... No answer came from the night, but I heard a whisper in my heart... don't worry, nothing is, nothing is forgotten.”
― Rolf van der Wind
