“There are certain mortal moments and minutes that matter. Certain hingepoints in the history of each human. Some seconds are so decisive they shrink the soul, while others are spent, so as to stretch the soul.”
“The gods, so says the old superstition, do not like to behold too happy mortals. It is certain, at least, that some human beings do not.”
“But certain souls cohere. It's rare but possible. But it takes two powerful wills to make it so.”
“Certain thoughts are prayers. There are moments when, whatever be the attitude of the body, the soul is on its knees.”
“The soul helps the body, and at certain moments raises it. It is the only bird that sustains its cage.”
“Certain thoughts are prayers. There are moments when, whatever the posture of the body, the soul is on it's knees.”
