Truman Capote
“[C]locks indeed must have thier sacrifice: what is death but an offering to time and eternity?”
Truman Capote, Other Voices, Other Rooms

Frederick Buechner
“Faith is homesickness. Faith is a lump in the throat. Faith is less a position on than a movement toward, less a sure thing than a hunch. Faith is waiting. Faith is journeying through space and through time.”
Frederick Buechner, The Clown in the Belfry: Writings on Faith and Fiction

Haruki Murakami
“One heart is not connected to another through harmony alone. They are, instead, linked deeply through their wounds. Pain linked to pain, fragility to fragility. There is no silence without a cry of grief, no forgiveness without bloodshed, no acceptance without a passage through acute loss. That is what lies at the root of true harmony.”
Haruki Murakami, Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki and His Years of Pilgrimage

Albert Einstein
“The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and all science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed.”
Albert Einstein

Madeleine K. Albright
“History would be far different
if we did not tend to hear God
most clearly when we think
He is telling us
exactly what it is
we want to hear”
Madeleine Albright, The Mighty and the Almighty: Reflections on America, God, and World Affairs – A Bold Critique and Call for Moral Consensus in an Era of Religious Terrorism
