“The nuns taught us there are two ways through life, the way of Nature and the way of Grace. You have to choose which one you'll follow.

Grace doesn't try to please itself. Accepts being slighted, forgotten, disliked. Accepts insults and injuries.

Nature only wants to please itself. Get others to please it too. Likes to lord it over them. To have its own way. It finds reasons to be unhappy when all the world is shining around it. And love is smiling through all things.”
― Terrence Malick, The Tree of Life

“If there is life after the earth-life, will you come with me? Even then? Since we’re bound to be something, why not together.”
― Mary Oliver, West Wind

“Attention is the rarest and purest form of generosity.”
― Simone Weil

“There was an inevitability about the road towards each other which encouraged meandering along the route.”
― Zadie Smith, NW
