Very few of us are what we seem.

The steamship whose machinery is broken may be brought into port and made fast to the dock. She is safe, but not sound. Repairs may last a long time. Christ designs to make us both safe and sound. Justification gives the first - safety; sanctification gives us the second - soundness.

Very unfortunately, she had no husband. She had never had a husband, and therefore did not kill a husband.

But no artist, I now realize, can be satisfied with art alone. There is a natural craving for recognition which cannot be gain-said.

It's astonishing in this world how things don't turn out at all the way you expect them to.

... nothing is so boring as devotion.

too much safety is abhorrent to the nature of a human being.
