“But sometimes it is just impossible to obey blindly. Sometimes a child must strike out on her own. A child cannot be a child forever”
“You are right. I have no idea, and it is none of my business, and I was taught to obey my parents. But sometimes it is just impossible to obey blindly.Sometimes a child must strike out on her own. A child cannot be a child forever, whether that means not touching a spindle or . . . or . . .”
“It was queer how sometimes a child's innocent eyes can see things that grown men are blind to.”
“Sometimes God calms the storm and sometimes He calms his child.”
“The child is in me still and sometimes not so still.”
“Sometimes God calms the storm, but sometimes God lets the storm rage and calms His child.”
