Book cover for Fox Creek (Cork O’Connor, #19)
“The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice.”
Bill Peake
This is hope for an ultimate outcome - no matter how painful or complicated the present may be!

“This is the promise of Genesis 1. The darkness is limited by the light. Suffering is not in perpetuity. The light may take generations to come, but it will come. There is always hope.”
Lisa Sharon Harper, The Very Good Gospel: How Everything Wrong Can Be Made Right

Harper Lee
“Prejudice, a dirty word, and faith, a clean one, have something in common: they both begin where reason ends.”
Harper Lee, Go Set a Watchman

“At the heart of the very good news of the gospel is the reversal of the Fall. With that reversal, Jesus’s death and resurrection paved the way for patriarchy to be crushed. This made way for the full acknowledgment of the image of God in women and men.”
Lisa Sharon Harper, The Very Good Gospel: How Everything Wrong Can Be Made Right

Herman Melville
“Whenever I find myself growing grim about the mouth; whenever it is a damp, drizzly November in my soul; whenever I find myself involuntarily pausing before coffin warehouses, and bringing up the rear of every funeral I meet; and especially whenever my hypos get such an upper hand of me, that it requires a strong moral principle to prevent me from deliberately stepping into the street, and methodically knocking people's hats off - then, I account it high time to get to sea as soon as I can.”
Herman Melville, Moby Dick

Louisa May Alcott
“Passers-by probably thought them a pair of harmless lunatics, for they entirely forgot to hail a bus, and strolled leisurely along, oblivious of deepening dusk and fog. Little they cared what anybody thought, for they were enjoying the happy hour that seldom comes but once in any life, the magical moment which bestows youth on the old, beauty on the plain, wealth on the poor, and gives human hearts a foretaste of heaven.”
Louisa May Alcott, Little Women
