“They are not sorrows, so much as terrible things.”

“You," he said, "are a terribly real thing in a terribly false world, and that, I believe, is why you are in so much pain.”

“It's a good thing war is so terrible or else we'd get to liking it too much.”

“Easy to see that naught save sorrow could bring a man to such a view of things. And yet a sorrow for which there can be no help is no sorrow. It is some dark sister traveling in sorrow's clothing. Men do not turn from God so easily you see. Not so easily. Deep in each man is the knowledge that something knows of his existence. Something knows, and cannot be fled nor hid from. To imagine otherwise is to imagine the unspeakable. It was never that this man ceased to believe in God. No. It was rather that he came to believe terrible things of Him.”

“Sorrow is better than fear. Fear is a journey, a terrible journey. But, sorrow is at least an arriving. ”

“There are much more terrible things than physical injury.”
