God understands. And God understands that part of us which is more than we think we are.
Madeleine L'EngleAll children are artists, and it is an indictment of our culture that so many of them lose their creativity, their unfettered imaginations, as they grow older.
Madeleine L'EngleOh child, your language is so utterly simple and limited that it has the affect of extreme complication. -Aunt Beast
Madeleine L'EngleAt Tara in this fateful hour, I place all Heaven with its power, And the sun with its brightness, And the snow with its whiteness, And the fire with all the strength it hath, And the lightning with its rapid wrath, And the winds with their swiftness along their path, And the sea with its deepness, And the rocks with their steepness, And the earth with its starkness: All these I place, By God's almighty help and grace Between myself and the powers of darkness!
