“Life is not about significant details, illuminated a flash, fixed forever.Photographs are.”

“The small details of life often hide a great significance.”

“Much of life appears mundane at the time. Yet in God's providence every moment includes significant details arranged by His divine hand.”

“Knowledge does not come to us by details, but in flashes of light from heaven.”

“The life of every individual, viewed as a whole and in general, and when only its most significant features are emphasized, is really a tragedy; but gone through in detail it has the character of a comedy.”

“It's not true that your life flashes before your eyes when you die. At least, not all of it. Some of your life might flash. Other portions of your life it might take you years and years to recall. That, I think, is the function of Hell: It's a place of remembering. Beyond that, the purpose of Hell is not so much to forget the details of our lives as it is to forgive them.”
