James   McBride
“God is the color of water. Water doesn't have a color.”
James McBride, The Color of Water: A Black Man's Tribute to His White Mother

Beth Moore
“Even of marriage, the Lord said the two shall become one flesh. He did not say we’d become one heart. He did not say we’d become one mind.”
Beth Moore, All My Knotted-Up Life: A Memoir

Ray Bradbury
“Everyone must leave something behind when he dies, my grandfather said. A child or a book or a painting or a house or a wall built or a pair of shoes made. Or a garden planted. Something your hand touched some way so your soul has somewhere to go when you die, and when people look at that tree or that flower you planted, you're there.

It doesn't matter what you do, he said, so long as you change something from the way it was before you touched it into something that's like you after you take your hands away. The difference between the man who just cuts lawns and a real gardener is in the touching, he said. The lawn-cutter might just as well not have been there at all; the gardener will be there a lifetime.”
Ray Bradbury, Fahrenheit 451

Shane McCrae
“Who are you if you erase your life whenever you recall your life?”
Shane McCrae, Pulling the Chariot of the Sun: A Memoir of a Kidnapping

Beth Moore
“Texans didn’t have the vocabulary God gave a groundhog.”
Beth Moore, All My Knotted-Up Life: A Memoir
