Quotes by Chris Adrian  (?)

“I am...sad and angry. Why is my spirit so sad and angry? I look back at my life and all I can remember is rage and rage and rage.”
Chris Adrian, The Children's Hospital

“It takes four angels to oversee an apocalypse: a recorder to make the book that would be scripture in the new world; a preserver to comfort and save those selected to be the first generation; an accuser to remind them why they suffer; and a destroyer to revoke the promise of survival and redemption, and to teach them the awful truth about furious sheltering grace.”
Chris Adrian, The Children's Hospital

“If there’s a magic pony in the story, chances are I’ll read it.”
Chris Adrian
