“Frodo heard a sweet singing running in his mind: a song that seemed to come like a pale light behind a grey rain-curtain, and growing stronger to turn the veil all to glass and silver, until at last it was rolled back, and a far green country opened before him under a swift sunrise.”
― J.R.R. Tolkien

“The universe exists primarily to display the wealth of the glory of the mercy of God for the enjoyment of his redeemed people from every tribe and tongue and people and nation.”

“My love for Bardia (not Bardia himself) had become to me a sickening thing. I had been dragged up and out onto such heights and precipices of truth, that I came into an air where it could not live. It stank; a gnawing greed for one to whom I could give nothing, of whom I craved all.”
― C.S. Lewis, Till We Have Faces: A Myth Retold

“Kissel worked in Idleness the way other artists worked in clay or marble.”
― Jean Shepherd, In God We Trust: All Others Pay Cash
