Madeleine L'Engle
“Our sins defeat us unless we are willing to recognize them, confess them, and so become healed and whole and holy -- not qualified, mind you; just holy.”
Madeleine L'Engle, Walking on Water: Reflections on Faith and Art

John Steinbeck
“Woman can change better'n a man," Ma said soothingly. "Woman got all her life in her arms. Man got it all in his head.”
John Steinbeck, The Grapes of Wrath

Hannah Anderson
“As God transforms you to be more like Him, as your heart mirrors His more perfectly, you can expect two different things: (1) You should experience the ability to increasingly live as you were created to live, and (2) You should also feel deeper pain when you do not. And it is this very pain that confirms that you are in the process of changing. This pain helps you remember that you are no longer the person you once were. Even on our worst days, then, even on those days when you feel so out of sorts that you hardly know yourself, you must remember that this discomfort, these growing pains assure that you are made for more.”
Hannah Anderson, Made for More: An Invitation to Live in God's Image

John Steinbeck
“Seems like our life's over and done."
"No, it ain't," Ma smiled. "It ain't, Pa. An' that's one more thing a woman knows. I noticed that. Man, he lives in jerks -- baby born an' a man dies, an' that's a jerk -- gets a farm an' loses a farm, an' that's a jerk. Woman, it's all one flow, like a stream, like eddies, little waterfalls, but the river, it goes right on. Woman looks at it like that. We ain't gonna die out. People is goin' on -- changin' a little, maybe, but goin' right on.”
John Steinbeck, The Grapes of Wrath

Frederick Buechner
“Be merciful to yourself, stop fighting yourself quite so much. Maybe what you are asking of yourself, what you're driving yourself to do or to be, what you put a gun to your own back to make yourself do, is something at this point you needn't have to think about doing. So, think back at the end of the day to the wars you're involved in. How are they going?”
Frederick Buechner, The Remarkable Ordinary: How to Stop, Look, and Listen to Life
