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
“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

Madeleine L'Engle
“But I have to accept the fact that I am often unwise; that I am not always loving; that I make mistakes; that I am, in fact, human. And as Christians we are not meant to be less human than other people, but more human, just as Jesus of Nazareth was more human.”
Madeleine L'Engle, Walking on Water: Reflections on Faith and Art

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

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
