“It wasn't only our country they occupied," Irene explained to Amir Shah. "They occupied our minds.”
“Anything big enough to occupy our minds is big enough to hang a prayer on.”
“We are not to be occupied with our feelings or symptoms,or our faith or lack of faith,but only with what God has said”
“Our lives can only be lived forward and understood backwards. Living a life and understanding it occupy different dimensions.”
“Even from the simplest, the most realistic point of view, the countries which we long for occupy, at any given moment, a far larger place in our actual life than the country in which we happen to be.”
“there are no houses to wife. only window seats to occupy when the weather needs changing & waters to flow past our ankles on Sundays as we fish.”
