“True progress quietly and persistently moves along without notice.”
“And indeed, human beings in general are fond, even inordinately fond, of being trampled on, have you noticed that? But of women it's especially true. One might even say they that can't get along without it.”
“...since it's about drifting, forgetting, passing time without noticing. Instead, quietly pay attention...”
“So we are steaming along without any landmark; we can't gauge our speed. We are making progress and yet nothing is changing. It's not navigation but dreaming.”
“One day, you’re 17 and you’re planning for someday. And then quietly, without you ever really noticing, someday is today. And then someday is yesterday. And this is your life.”
“Prayer [is] the quiet, persistent living of our life of desire and faith in the presence of our God.”
