City of God Quotes

“Repentance means turning toward other human beings, our own flesh and blood, whenever they’re oppressed, hungry, or imprisoned; it means acting with compassion instead of indifference.”
― Sara Miles, City of God: Faith in the Streets

“Heavenly comfort, rather, is truth, which blows away human fantasies that we can live forever, control everything, or fake our lives before God.”
― Sara Miles, City of God: Faith in the Streets
