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

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

“Historian John Howe summed up Adams’s feelings on the subject. “Parties accentuated the struggle for political spoils and made personal ambition rather than social virtue the touchstone of political success. Party conflict, by exciting passions and clouding reason, corrupted elections more quickly than anything.”
Marianne Holdzkom, Remembering John Adams: The Second President in History, Memory and Popular Culture

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

Flannery O'Connor
“The fiction writer is an observer, first, last, and always, but he cannot be an adequate observer unless he is free from uncertainty about what he sees. Those who have no absolute values cannot let the relative remain merely relative; they are always raising it to the level of the absolute. The Catholic fiction writer is entirely free to observe. He feels no call to take on the duties of God or to create a new universe. He feels perfectly free to look at the one we already have and to show exactly what he sees.”
Flannery O'Connor, Mystery and Manners: Occasional Prose
