“ He looked up at her. Kindness was something he didn't even know he wanted, and here it was. ”
Memory can make a thing seem to have been much more than it was.
~ Marilynne Robinson
There's so much to be grateful for, words are poor things.
When something ought to be true then it proves to be a very powerful truth.
I felt, as I have often felt, that my failing the truth could have no bearing at all on the Truth itself, which could never conceivably be in any sense dependent on me or on anyone.
