Robert’s Quotes

“So shall the world go on,
To good malignant, to bad men benign,
Under her own weight groaning.”
― John Milton, Paradise Lost

“It has taken years to continue to live into the truth that if I believe we are from God and for God, then we are from Goodness and for Goodness. To greet sorrow today does not mean that sorrow will be there tomorrow. Happiness comes too, and grief, and tiredness, disappointment, surprise and energy. Chaos and fulfilment will be named as well as delight and despair. This is the truth of being here, wherever here is today. It may not be permanent but it is here. I will probably leave here, and I will probably return. To deny here is to harrow the heart. Hello to here.”
― Pádraig Ó Tuama, In the Shelter: Finding a Home in the World
