Sheldon Vanauken
“At my father's club, sitting before the fire, we had spoken of 'moments made eternity', meaning what are called timeless moments, moments precisely without the pressure of time--moments that might be called, indeed, timeful moments. And we had clearly understood that the pressure of time was our nearly inescapable awareness of an approaching terminus-the bell about to ring, the holiday about to end, the going down from Oxford foreseen...Life itself is pressured by death, the final terminus. Socrates refused to delay his own death for a few more hours: perhaps he knew that those few hours under the pressure of time would be worth little....Awareness of duration, of terminus, spoils Now.”
Sheldon Vanauken, A Severe Mercy: A Story of Faith, Tragedy, and Triumph

Sheldon Vanauken
“But I think you are already in the meshes of the net! The Holy Spirit is after you. I doubt if you’ll get away!”
Sheldon Vanauken, A Severe Mercy

Madeleine L'Engle
“If I'm confused, or upset, or angry, if I can go out and look at the stars I'll almost always get back a sense of proportion. It's not that they make me feel insignificant; it's the very opposite; they make me feel that everything matters, be it ever so small, and that there's meaning to life even when it seems most meaningless.”
Madeleine L'Engle, A Ring of Endless Light

Flannery O'Connor
“I have 50 or 60 pages on the [new] novel but I still expect to be a long time at it. It’s a theme that requires prayer and fasting to make it get anywhere. I manage to pray but am a very sloppy faster.”
Flannery O'Connor, The Habit of Being: Letters of Flannery O'Connor

Ruta Sepetys
“I wept because i had no shoes,
until i met a man who had no feet.”
Ruta Sepetys, Salt to the Sea
