Marilynne RobinsonWhat happens is people - especially, I think, audiences in the United States - people confront new things a little bit afraid. It's like when you're a kid and your mother puts something on your plate you never ate before.

And what happens is that their expectation of what things should be is elevated, and that's really terrific for us.

If, therefore, anything happens to him contrary to his expectation, he at once concludes that the whole universe is evil.

There are many ... passages in the books of the prophets expressing the same idea.
