Susan Grove Eastman
“So to all the nonconformists in business, politics and art: more power to you. But that’s child’s play. To say, “I am dust, and to dust I shall return”: Now that’s rebellion for grown-ups.”
Susan Grove Eastman, Paul and the Person: Reframing Paul's Anthropology

Simone Weil
“The love of our neighbour in all its fullness simply means being able to say to him: “What are you going through?” It is a recognition that the sufferer exists, not only as a unit in a collection, or a specimen from the social category labelled “unfortunate,” but as a man, exactly like us, who was one day stamped with a special mark by affliction. For this reason it is enough, but it is indispensable, to know how to look at him in a certain way.
This way of looking is first of all attentive. The soul empties itself of all its own contents in order to receive into itself the being it is looking at, just as he is, in all his truth.”
Simone Weil, Waiting for God

Ocean Vuong
“If you find yourself trapped inside a dimming world, remember it was always this dark inside the body. Where the heart, like the law, stops only for the living.
If you find yourself, then congratulations, your hands are yours to keep.
If you forget me, then you've gone too far. Turn back.”
Ocean Vuong, On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous

Rachel Held Evans
“There is liberation in not having to know everything and not having to impress everyone with that boundless knowledge.”
Rachel Held Evans, Wholehearted Faith

Rachel Held Evans
“Acknowledging uncertainty doesn't make a person less faithful; it just makes her more honest. Admitting how much we don't know doesn't make a person less faithful; it just makes him more candid - and perhaps more curious. Anne Lamott has chronicled the meanderings of the heart as well as anyone, and as she famously puts it, " The opposite of faith is not doubt, but certainty.”
Rachel Held Evans, Wholehearted Faith
