Come, live with me and you'll know me.

I cannot speak for the way God deals with others; I only know how he deals with me personally.

The humans live in time but our Enemy destines them to eternity. He therefore, I believe, wants them to attend chiefly to two things, to eternity itself, and to that point of time which they call the Present. For the Present is the point at which time touches eternity. Of the present moment, and of it only, humans have an experience analogous to the experience which our Enemy has of reality of whole; in it alone freedom and actuality are offered to them.

If God thinks this state of war in the universe is a price worth paying for free will--that is, for making a live world in which creatures can do real good or harm and something of real importance of real importance can happen, instead of a toy world which only moves when He pulls the strings--then we may take it it is worth paying.

Whatever you do, He will make good of it. But not the good He had prepared for you if you had obeyed him.

Let's pray that the human race never escapes from Earth to spread its iniquity elsewhere.

It was a full moon and, shining on all the snow, it made everything almost as bright as day -- only the shadows were rather confusing.
