“That's how it will be, except that in reality, both today and later, one will stand there with a palpable body and a real head, a real forehead, that is, for smiting on with one's hand.”
“Inside each of us is a monster; inside each of us is a saint. The real question is which one we nurture the most, which one will smite the other.”
“I put my forehead on his collarbone, place one hand on his chest. Its rhythm reassures me: He is real, and he is now.”
“Real faith is holding blessings in one hand and suffering in the other, and trusting God to use both to accomplish His will.”
“Whatever is a reality today, whatever you touch and believe in and that seems real for you today, is going to be, like the reality of yesterday, an illusion tomorrow.”
“Principles have no real force except when one is well fed.”
