Marilynne Robinson
“I experience religious dread whenever I find myself thinking that I know the limits of God’s grace, since I am utterly certain it exceeds any imagination a human being might have of it. God does, after all, so love the world.”
Marilynne Robinson, When I Was a Child I Read Books

Marilynne Robinson
“He will wipe the tears from all faces.' It takes nothing from the loveliness of the verse to say that is exactly what will be required”
Marilynne Robinson, Gilead

Kate Chopin
“A certain light was beginning to dawn dimly within her,—the light which, showing the way, forbids it.”
Kate Chopin, The Awakening

Kate Chopin
“He could see plainly that she was not herself. That is, he could not see that she was becoming herself and daily casting aside that fictitious self which we assume like a garment with which to appear before the world.”
Kate Chopin, The Awakening

Marilynne Robinson
“It is an amazing thing to watch people laugh, the way it sort of takes them over. Sometimes they really do struggle with it . . . so I wonder what it is and where it comes from, and I wonder what it expends out of your system, so that you have to do it till you're done, like crying in a way, I suppose, except that laughter is much more easily spent.”
Marilynne Robinson, Gilead
