Anne Morrow Lindbergh
“How little not how much I can get along with. To say is it necessary when I’m tempted to add one more accumulation to my life. When I am pulled toward one more centrifugal Activity. Simplification of outward life is not enough. It is merely the outside, but I am starting with the outside. I am looking at the outside of a shell. The outside of my life-the shell. The complete answer is not to be found on the outside in an outward mode of living. This is only a technique- a road to grace. The final answer, I know, is always inside.”
Anne Morrow Lindbergh, Gift from the Sea

Matt Haig
“You have survived everything you have been through, and you will survive this too. Stay for the person you will become. You are more than a bad day, or week, or month, or year, or even a decade. You are a future of multifarious possibility. You are another self at a point in future time looking back in gratitude that this lost and former you held on. Stay.”
Matt Haig, The Comfort Book

Dietrich Bonhoeffer
“God cannot endure that unfestive, mirthless attitude of ours in which we eat our bread in sorrow, with pretentious, busy haste, or even with shame. Through our daily meals He is calling us to rejoice, to keep holiday in the midst of our working day.”
Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Life Together: The Classic Exploration of Christian Community

Kristin Hannah
“In real life, she saw, it wasn’t like that. It was sadness opening up inside of you, changing how you saw the world. It made her think about God and what He offered at times like this. She wondered for the first time what her parents believed in, what she believed in, and she saw how the idea of Heaven could be comforting. She could hardly imagine a thing as terrible as losing your mother. The very thought of it made Leni sick to her stomach. A girl was like a kite; without her mother’s strong, steady hold on the string, she might just float away, be lost somewhere among the clouds.”
Kristin Hannah, The Great Alone

G.K. Chesterton
“Because children have abounding vitality, because they are in spirit fierce and free, therefore they want things repeated and unchanged. They always say, "Do it again"; and the grown-up person does it again until he is nearly dead. For grown-up people are not strong enough to exult in monotony. But perhaps God is strong enough to exult in monotony. It is possible that God says every morning, "Do it again" to the sun; and every evening, "Do it again" to the moon. It may not be automatic necessity that makes all daisies alike; it may be that God makes every daisy separately, but has never got tired of making them. It may be that He has the eternal appetite of infancy; for we have sinned and grown old, and our Father is younger than we.”
G.K. Chesterton, Orthodoxy
