and I recently got news about a friend of mine falling victim to this savage killer.” Mitch shook his head. “Hey, we should cheer up. There are a lot of wonderful things out there. Humans are the greatest creation in the universe.” Mitch ...more

This is a microcosm of the whole book-- savagery one sentence, coffee the next.

Madeleine L'Engle
“In the act of creativity, the artist lets go the self-control which he normally clings to and is open to riding the wind.”
Madeleine L'Engle, Walking on Water: Reflections on Faith and Art

Madeleine L'Engle
“When I think of the incredible, incomprehensible sweep of creation above me, I have the strange reaction of feeling fully alive. Rather than feeling lost and unimportant and meaningless, seta against galaxies which go beyond the reach of the furthest telescopes, I feel that my life has meaning. Perhaps I should feel insignificant, but instead I feel a soaring in my heart that the God who could create all this—and out of nothing—can still count the hairs of my head.”
Madeleine L'Engle, The Irrational Season

Madeleine L'Engle
“The author & the reader "know" each other: they meet on the bridge of words”
Madeleine L'Engle

Flannery O'Connor
“I don't know which is worse—to have a bad teacher or no teacher at all. In any case, I believe the teacher's work should be largely negative. He can't put the gift into you, but if he finds it there, he can try to keep it from going in an obviously wrong direction. We can learn how not to write, but this is a discipline that does not simply concern writing itself but concerns the whole intellectual life. A mind cleared of false emotion and false sentiment and egocentricity is going to have at least those roadblocks removed from its path. If you don't think cheaply, then there at least won't be the quality of cheapness in your writing, even though you may not be able to write well. The teacher can try to weed out what is positively bad, and this should be the aim of the whole college. Any discipline can help your writing: logic, mathematics, theology, and of course and particularly drawing. Anything that helps you to see, anything that makes you look. The writer should never be ashamed of staring. There is nothing that doesn't require his attention.”
Flannery O'Connor, Mystery and Manners: Occasional Prose

Madeleine L'Engle
“But I am a storyteller, and that involves language, for me the English language, that wonderfully rich, complex, and ofttimes confusing tongue. When language is limited, I am thereby diminished, too.”
Madeleine L'Engle, Walking on Water: Reflections on Faith and Art
