Little bits of wisdom (my apologies to the unknown quotes)
"The truth will ruin only what it ought."
From The Shepherd's Castle , George MacDonald
"Then Hwin, though shaking all over, gave a strange little neigh
and trotted across to the Lion.
"Please," she said, "you're so beautiful. You may eat me if you like.
I'd sooner be eaten by you than fed by anyone else."
The Horse and His Boy (Chronicles of Narnia) CS Lewis
"(Our) original shimmering self gets buried so deep we hardly live out of it at all....
rather, we learn to live out of all the other selves which we are constantly
putting on and taking off like coats and hats against the world's weather."
Frederick Buechner
"From the end of the earth, with fainting heart,
I call out to you.
Set me down on a rock
far above where I am now..."
From Psalm 61
"Yet dearly I love you and would be loved fain,
but am betrothed unto your enemy:
divorce me, untie or break that knot again,
take me to you, imprison me, for I,
except you enthrall me, never shall be free,
nor ever chaste, except you ravish me."
From "Batter My Heart,Three-Personed God", John Donne
"Adonai is a stronghold for the oppressed,
A tower of strength in times of trouble.
Those who know Your name put their trust in You,
For You have not abandoned those who seek You, Adonai."
Psalms 9:9-10
"What do you want here, beautiful woman?" he said.
"Am I beautiful? I am so glad!" answered Tangle,
rising. "My grandmother is beautiful."
The Golden Key , George MacDonald
