Quotes
"I am not a great theologian. I know there is a theological concept called invincible ignorance in which a strong enough faith binds you to any facts to the contrary. But I never liked that idea. I believe that ignorance is roving and curious like a blind woman, touching everything, and faith is a stationary sentinel, pointing in the direction of the divine." - Anne Lamott
"In the roving of my eyes, deep in the sockets of my skull, I see my own heart, beating." - Haruki Murakami
