“There is something deeply unsettling about a child crying insincerely.”

“One cannot apologize for something fundamental, and a child feels and knows this as well and as deeply as any sage.”
“Hunched down in the small bright room Nel waited. Waited for the oldest cry. A scream not for others, not in sympathy for a burnt child, or a dead father, but a deeply personal cry for one's own pain. A loud, strident: 'Why me?' She waited.”
“Prayer is thinking deeply about something in the presence of God.”
“Stop crying or I'll give you something to cry about!”
