Who are they to give stars or dots? They're Wemmicks just like you." Eli to Punchinello (p. 25)

Fear may fill our world, but it doesn’t have to fill our hearts.

God answers the mess of life with one word: Grace.

What is this love that endures decades, passes on sleep, and resists death to give one kiss? Call it agape love, a love that bears a semblance of God's.

To call yourself a child of God is one thing. To be called a child of God by those who watch your life is another thing altogether.

I see that a lot in my own life and in the lives of others.Does the presence of pain mean the absence of God?

Our society is just less open to platitudes, more open to stories.
