“The Christian Gospel is that I am so flawed that Jesus had to die for me, yet I am so loved and valued that Jesus was glad to die for me.

I do not think more of myself nor less of myself. Instead, I think of myself less”
― Timothy J. Keller, The Reason for God: Belief in an Age of Skepticism

“I will take responsibility for what I have done,” Dalinar whispered. “If I must fall, I will rise each time a better man.”
