things found while cleaning part 1

all sorts of interesting words! first, from my quote book. i seem to get distracted by it every time i write a new quote in.

"and, he said, jesus was more forgiving to those who made mistakes in love than those who judged each other harlsy and were cold of heart." madeleine l'engle, a house like a lotus

"'if i take all my anger, if i take all my bitterness over the unfairness of this mortal life and throw it all to god he can take it and transform it into love before he throws it back to me.' simon dug his hands into his pockets. 'if he has all of these galaxies and all of these stars and all of thiese planets, i wouldn't thinkhe'd have much time left over for people." madeleine l'engle, dragons in the waters

"my dear, i'm seldom sure of anything. life at best is a precarious business and we aren't told difficult or painful things won't happen, just that it matters. it matters, not just to us, but to the entire universe." madeleine l'engle, an acceptable time

"there are some things that can't die, but nothing that can't be murdered..." m l'e, a small rain

i was picking out all of her quotes because of the one i wrote in today:
" 'you know what i think about religion?' i ask. not waiting for an answer, i say, 'i think it would be great if it was all clear cut the way it is in madeleine l'engle books. where you know who the bad guys are and it's all important and beautiful and and it means you can communicate telepathically with dolphins.' " sara ryan, empress of the world
