“Look beyond that light,' says my father. 'Look hard and you'll see people filing into the theater. You'll see ushers run up and down the aisles; people talk, programs rustle-you'll hear a murmur. When the lights start to dim, the murmur rises, and then, just a moment before the curtain goes up, the noise stops-everyone in the house holds their breath, everyone knows what is going to happen. This is the moment I've always loved most:the anticipation of magic, the expectation of illusion.”
― Elena Gorokhova, A Mountain of Crumbs

“The Christian does not think God will love us because we are good, but that God will make us good because He loves us.”

“There is a love that binds us all
It's in our blood, it's who we are
and it's nested in the branches of this tree
and it's rooted in the Earth where we keep
all of our stories”
― Prairie Empire

“A children's story that can only be enjoyed by children is not a good children's story in the slightest.”
