“I could never work out whether we were to view religion as a life-insurance policy or a life sentence. I can understand a wrathful God who'd just as soon dangle us all from a hook.

You wind up walking on eggshells, never knowing which... is at home at the moment.”
― Barbara Kingsolver, The Poisonwood Bible

“If you only read the books that everyone else is reading, you can only think what everyone else is thinking.”

“I’ve seen how you can’t learn anything when you’re trying to look like the smartest person in the room.”
