“These humans are only of flesh, of mud, and I suggest there is one force stronger than their zeal for God: their own self-righteousness! We will make them proud, pure in their own eyes, vindictive, unjust judges over each other, and stir up such a noise among them that the simplest prayer will not be uttered!”
― Frank Peretti, Piercing the Darkness

“If most of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world.”
― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Hobbit, or There and Back Again

“Tell me how on God’s green earth we can dare offer salvation to a dying world when we’re so busy shooting our own wounded.”
― Francine Rivers, The Atonement Child

“Each time a thought came knocking on the door of her mind, she viewed it cautiously. Was it true? Was it honorable? Was it pure or lovely? Was it of good repute?”
― Francine Rivers, Mark of the Lion Collection
