“I had spent an entire life praying for a miracle, and none had come. And now I looked at the stuffy chapel of my ancestors and saw vanity and greed, heard the call to prayer and thought of power, smelled incense and wondered at the waste of it all.”

“All over now. He is either in joy or nothingness.

― George Saunders, Lincoln in the Bardo
