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

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

Madeleine L'Engle
“We do not draw people to Christ by loudly discrediting what they believe, by telling them how wrong they are and how right we are, but by showing them a light that is so lovely that they want with all their hearts to know the source of it.”
Madeleine L'Engle

Frederick Buechner
“Knowing that even though you see only through a glass darkly, even though lots of things happen - wars and peacemaking, hunger and homelessness - joy is knowing, even for a moment, that underneath everything are the everlasting arms.”
Frederick Buechner, The Remarkable Ordinary: How to Stop, Look, and Listen to Life
