“The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen.”

“She could make fascinating and almost brilliant conversation out of the thinnest air that ever floated through a drawing-room.”

“God is never in a hurry. He knows what He’s doing, and His timing is never off.”

“The past is beautiful because one never realises an emotion at the time. It expands later, & thus we don’t have complete emotions about the present, only about the past.”

“Nobody’s memory is perfect or complete. We jumble things up. We lose track of time. We are in one place… then another and it all feels like one long, inescapable moment. So, what does it mean? What do we take away? Which pieces will haunt us? Hurt us? End us? Inspire us? It’s just like my mother used to say, the carousel never stops turning. You can’t get off.”

“Trust the overthinker who tells you they love you. They have, most assuredly, thought of every reason not to.”

“It’s one thing to come to God because you have a need. It’s another thing to know that your real need is knowing Him.”
