John O’Donohue Divine Beauty: “There is an unseemly coarseness to our times which robs the grace from our textures of language, feeling and presence.” (pg 14)

“There is a constant whirr of movement that you never know where you are. You have no time to give yourself to the present experience. When you accumulate experiences at such a tempo, everything becomes thin. Consequently, you become ever more absent from your life, and this fosters emptiness that haunts the heart.” (pg 37)

Roland Walls, Mole Under the Fence “The joy isn’t the fact that we’re doing anything we can write home about. It’s the joy that comes out of what the Lord does with the nonsense.” (58)

Walter Brueggemann, Prophetic Imagination
“Jesus had capacity to give voice to the very hurt that had been mute, and therefore newness could break through. (91)
