Buffalo Flats Quotes

“No mortal soul could love the whole world at once; you could only love the person before you, and the next and the next, one at a time, man by woman by child, just the one before you and the world each soul carried with her. That was grace. That was commandment. That was the Point.”
― Martine Leavitt, Buffalo Flats

“God didn't want her to be timid and shrinking. He wanted her to stand, to know her worth, her infinite destiny. Sitting and sunsets were one thing, but you knew him, really knew him, in the sorrow and in the serving.”
― Martine Leavitt, Buffalo Flats
