“Everything I have, my very life itself, is yours. That always has and always will extend beyond death for me.”
“I have fallen short in my life, but my faith has always brought me home.”
“The personal life deeply lived always expands into truths beyond itself.”
“It has always seemed to me. ever since early childhood, amid all the commonplaces of life, i was very near to a kingdom of ideal beauty. Between it and me hung only a thin veil. I could never draw it quite aside, but sometimes a wind fluttered it and I caught a glimpse of the enchanting realms beyond-only a glimpse-but those glimpses have always made life worthwhile.”
“That my life has come down to this – luck, is galling, when I have always directed my own fate. Land or water? Heads or tails? Life or death? We’ll see.”
“...the antidote to death was and always would be the heat and fury of life itself.”
