“Charity even for one person does not make sense except in terms of an effort to love all Creation in response to the Creator's love for it.”

“In general terms, pantheism is at the root of all non-biblical religions, which worship creation rather than the Creator.”

“I don’t think Will Herondale and a sense of responsibility are even on speaking terms”

“With someone you like that much, the lows are as low as the highs are high. Does that make sense?'It does. It also makes me sound bipolar.'Love will do that to a person.”
