It was always himself that the coward abandoned first. After this all other betrayals came easily.

But there are no absolutes in human misery and things can always get worse

What could a child know of the darkness of God's plan? Or how flesh is so frail it is hardly more than a dream

Every moment in your life is a turning and every one a choosing. Somewhere you made a choice. All followed to this. The accounting is scrupulous. The shape is drawn. No line can be erased.

And the shape of your path was visible from the beginning.

To see God everywhere is to see Him nowhere.

The man who believes that the secrets of the world are forever hidden lives in mystery and fear. Superstition will drag him down." -The Judge
