“To expect and dread a thing for a lifetime; does not prepare you for the thing itself.”
“How often we expect big things from God without preparing for big things from him”
“...things can happen when you least expect them so you always gotta be prepared. And pay attention to the details. The devil is in the details.”
“I need you for a lot of things, Hardy. A lifetime's worth of things.”
“They were things for which it was impossible to prepare but which one spent a lifetime looking back at, trying to accept, interpret, comprehend. Things that should never have happened, that seemed out of place and wrong, these were what prevailed, what endured, in the end.”
“Prepare yourself for something dreadful.”
