'A Wrinkle in Time' was almost never published. You can't name a major publisher who didn't reject it.

I think your mythology would call them fallen angels. War and hate are their business, and one of their chief weapons is un-Naming - making people not know who they are. If someone knows who he is, really knows, then he doesn't need to hate. That's why we still need Namers, because there are places throughout the universe like your planet Earth. When everyone is really and truly Named, then the Echthroi will be vanquished.

We are all strangers in a strange land, longing for home, but not quite knowing what or where home is. We glimpse it sometimes in our dreams, or as we turn a corner, and suddenly there is a strange, sweet familiarity that vanishes almost as soon as it comes...

You see, though we travel together, we travel alone.

We do learn and develop when we are exposed to those who are greater than we are. Perhaps this is the chief way we mature.

When I am constantly running there is no time for being. When there is no time for being there is no time for listening.

When we lose our myths we lose our place in the universe.
