“Poets are born knowing the language of angels.”
― Madeleine L'Engle, A Ring of Endless Light

“I think your mythology would call them fallen angels. War and hate are their business, and one of their chief weapons is un-Naming - making people not know who they are. If someone knows who he is, really knows, then he doesn't need to hate. That's why we still need Namers, because there are places throughout the universe like your planet Earth. When everyone is really and truly Named, then the Echthroi will be vanquished.”
― Madeleine L'Engle, A Wind in the Door

“Stories are like children. They grow in their own way.”
― Madeleine L'Engle, A Swiftly Tilting Planet

“George MacDonald gives me renewed strength during times of trouble--times when I have seen people tempted to deny God--when he says, "The Son of God suffered unto death, not that men might not suffer, but that their sufferings might be like his.”
