Humility is throwing oneself away in complete concentration on something or someone else.
Madeleine L'EngleWe live by revelations, as Christians, as artists, which means we must be careful never to get set into rigid molds. The minute we begin to think we know all the answers, we forget all the questions and we become like the pharisee who listed all his considerable virtues, and thanked God that he was not like other men.
Madeleine L'EngleIf we are to be aware of life while we are living it, we must have the courage to relinquish our hard-earned control of ourselves.
Madeleine L'EngleWe think because we have words, not the other way around. The more words we have, the better able we are to think conceptually.
