Jonathan Safran Foer
“It was the feeling of not wanting to live in the world, even if it was the only place to live.”
Jonathan Safran Foer, Here I Am

Eugene H. Peterson
“Mercy, GOD, mercy!”: the prayer is not an attempt to get God to do what he is unwilling otherwise to do, but a reaching out to what we know that he does do, an expressed longing to receive what God is doing in and for us in Jesus Christ.”
Eugene H. Peterson, A Long Obedience in the Same Direction: Discipleship in an Instant Society

Marilynne Robinson
“Harm to you is not harm to me in the strict sense, and that is a great part of the problem. He could knock me down the stairs and I would have worked out the theology for forgiving him before I reached the bottom. But if he harmed you in the slightest way, I'm afraid theology would fail me.”
Marilynne Robinson, Gilead

Ta-Nehisi Coates
“Every Trump voter is certainly not a white supremacist, just as every white person in the Jim Crow South was not a white supremacist. But every Trump voter felt it was acceptable to hand the fate of the country over to one.”
Ta-Nehisi Coates, We Were Eight Years in Power: An American Tragedy

“Now is a powerful time in this country for young people and others to be asking the question, What are we for? Do we exist for some reason other than competing with China or finding the best possible technological advances?”
Krista Tippett, Becoming Wise: An Inquiry into the Mystery and Art of Living
