― Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, The Little Prince

“It is ... through the world of the imagination which takes us beyond the restrictions of provable fact, that we touch the hem of truth.”
― Madeleine L'Engle, A Circle of Quiet

“We can surely no longer pretend that our children are growing up into a peaceful, secure, and civilized world. We've come to the point where it's irresponsible to try to protect them from the irrational world they will have to live in when they grow up. The children themselves haven't yet isolated themselves by selfishness and indifference; they do not fall easily into the error of despair; they are considerably braver than most grownups. Our responsibility to them is not to pretend that if we don't look, evil will go away, but to give them weapons against it.”
― Madeleine L'Engle, A Circle of Quiet

“The best things are never arrived at in haste. God is in no hurry; His plans are never rushed.”
