“We were sent here for something. And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.”
― Madeleine L'Engle, A Wrinkle in Time

“Beware of pride and arrogance, Charles, for they may betray you.”
― Madeleine L'Engle, A Wrinkle in Time

“We have to make decisions, and we can’t make them if they’re based on fear.”
― Madeleine L'Engle, A Wrinkle in Time

“We are all implicated when we allow other people to be mistreated. An absence of compassion can corrupt the decency of a community, a state, a nation. Fear and anger can make us vindictive and abusive, unjust and unfair, until we all suffer from the absence of mercy and we condemn ourselves as much as we victimize others. The closer we get to mass incarceration and extreme levels of punishment, the more I believe it's necessary to recognize that we all need mercy, we all need justice, and-perhaps-we all need some measure of unmerited grace.”
― Bryan Stevenson, Just Mercy
