Words staying with me this week...

"Toward evening, the natural light becomes
intelligent and answers, without demur:
'Be assured! You are not alone...' "
- "Descartes' Loneliness", Allen Grossman

"The wicked witch of secrecy had been vanquished... I had liberated my mother, unlocked her from the prison of the dank secret... I had spoken for her. I had been hard for both us. But this was the whole point of literature... this voicing of the unspoken, the forbidden... doesn't the truth, as John, the beloved apostle promised, set you free?" - Patricia Hampl, "I Could Tell You Stories"

"
Many belong to the Church who do not belong to God. And many belong to God who do not belong to the Church." - St. Augustine
