“That’s your first story, but it doesn’t have to be your only story. That’s up to you.”
― West with Giraffes

“Will you, won’t you, will you, won’t you, won’t you join the dance?”

“The House of God, when empty, behaved in a quite different fashion from the houses of men. This was not sunken; this was no shell dependent upon people for its personality and atmosphere: Quite the opposite. Free of worshippers and busyness, it stood solid in its own splendor; confident in its own purpose: cold, damp, and simple, yet rich with magnificence.”
― Miss Austen

“But prayers didn't exist in isolation. They must be accompanied by intent. By action.”
― John Eyre: A Tale of Darkness and Shadow
― John Eyre: A Tale of Darkness and Shadow
“It's a choice we make daily, for ourselves and for each other - to choose light rather than darkness. We all of us bear deep scars from what we've suffered. From the loss, betrayal, and physical pain. From guilt in believing we might have behaved differently - might have tried harder, done more. But such thoughts serve no purpose anymore except to rob us of our precious peace. And we deserve peace after what we've been through.”
