“Why do insurance companies, when they want to describe an act of God, invariably pick on something which sounds much more like an act of the Devil? One would think that God was exclusively concerned in making hurricanes, smallpox, thunderbolts, and dry rot. They seem to forget that He also manufactures rainbows, apple-blossom, and Siamese kittens. However, that is, perhaps, a diversion.”
― Beverley Nichols, Sunlight on the Lawn

“We have two ears and one mouth so that we can listen twice as much as we speak.”
― Epictetus

“I've come to think that's what heaven is- a place in the memory of others where our best selves live on.”

“He [God] chooses not to intervene in the world. Why not? Because he figures he's done enough and the rest is up to us? Or he wouldn't know where to begin? Or because he's in awe of his own miracle? That's how I picture him, his mouth slightly agape, his eyes wide in disbelief.”
― Jon Cohen, The Man in the Window
