“I'm going to miss them,' said a Federal Building guard; he had started learning sign language and hoped one day to become a sign language interpreter. 'They were real nice people.”
Judith Heumann, Being Heumann: An Unrepentant Memoir of a Disability Rights Activist

“Taken out of context and given a forty-degree twist, you can use the Bible to justify almost anything.”
J.A. Jance, Until Proven Guilty

“The fault is here, but so is the solution. That’s the grace.”
Louise Penny, Still Life

“Faith, for me, isn't an argument, a catechism, a philosophical “proof.” It is instead a lens, a way of experiencing life, and a willingness to act.”
Sara Miles, Take This Bread: A Radical Conversion

Barbara Brown Taylor
“By the grace of God, I am being mended, and God has called me to he a mender too. Since many threads are stronger than one, God has put me on a sewing team. Day by day, our job is to hunt the places where the world is ripped and bend over the damage to do what we can. Every good deed, every kind word, every act of justice and compassion tugs the torn edges closer together. The truer our aim, the smaller our stitches and the longer the patch will hold. We made plenty of the rips ourselves, and some of the worst ones show evidence of having been mended many times before, but that does not seem to discourage anyone. Mending is how we continue to be mended, and we would not trade the work for anything.”
Barbara Brown Taylor, Speaking of Sin
