“Wait, Armand, he heard behind him but kept walking, ignoring the calls. Then he remembered what Emile had meant to him and still did. Did this one bad thing wipe everything else out?

But not today. Gamache stopped.”
― Louise Penny, Bury Your Dead

“Better to accept the wretched truth than struggle, twisting to make a wish a reality.”
― Louise Penny, The Brutal Telling

“Where there is love, there is courage
Where there is courage, there is peace
Where there is peace, there is God
And when you have God, you have everything.”
― Louise Penny, A Fatal Grace
