Let’s not forget to put a dose of reality into our fiction.

Don’t tell me what they are. Tell me what they do.

I don’t like to talk, but I love to talk about books.

How can I exist in that kind of cognitive dissonance? I mean, my faith is hopeful. I am less so. What does that say about me?

It’s not a box that needs to be checked or a place on a map, it’s an experience.
