"This newest translation got my attention. I've tried two others, never finished. Here's hoping...
The book itself is maybe the nicest book I own! Norton had A LOT of confidence in it! It's gorgeous!" — Jul 15, 2026 05:08AM

It is so difficult—at least, I find it difficult—to understand people who speak the truth.”
“We are always choosing situations that hurt us. We choose them so deeply that we don’t know we chose them. We think we had to. We think the world did it to us. And then we think, what a horrible world that makes a weapon out of love. That stabs you with it, even when you can’t defend yourself and the other person hates you and wants to see you cry.”

“A god who listens is love. A god who speaks is law. At their worst, the people who want a god who listens are self-centered...And the ones who want a god who speaks are cruel. They just want laws and justice to crush everything...Love is empty without justice. Justice is cruel without love....God should be both. If a god isn't, that is no God.”
