“The mercy of the world is you don't know what's going to happen.”
― Wendell Berry, Jayber Crow

“Telling a story is like reaching into a granary full of wheat and drawing out a handful. There is always more to tell than can be told.”
― Wendell Berry, Jayber Crow

“The mercy of the world is time. Time does not stop for love, but it does not stop for death and grief, either.”
― Wendell Berry, Jayber Crow

“I could not have desired her enough. She was a living soul and could be loved forever. Like every living creature, she carried in her the presence of eternity. That was why, as she grew older, I saw in her always the child she had been, and why, looking at her when she was a child, I felt the influence of the woman she would be. That is why, in marrying one another, we mortals say "till death." We must take love to the limit of time, because time cannot limit it. A life cannot limit it. Maybe to have it in your hear all your life in this world, even while it fails here, is to succeed. Maybe that is enough”
― Wendell Berry, Jayber Crow
