You keep fitting after you have children or change religions or stop dyeing your hair or quit your job at Goldman Sachs and take up farming. Somehow, God is gracious enough to give us a few of those people, people you can stretch into, people who don't go away, and whom you wouldn't want to go away, even if they offered.” PeopleIfsWantGivingChildrenEnoughJobsGrowthLosesHairFitWeightQuittingGoing AwayHeelsFarmingGraciousFittingHigh HeelsLose WeightQuitting Your JobGoldman SachsWant To Go Away Book:Girl Meets God: On the Path to a Spiritual Life Source: Girl Meets God: On the Path to a Spiritual Life
“God is a novelist. He uses all sorts of literary devices: alliteration, assonance, rhyme, synecdoche, onomatopoeia. But of all of these, His favorite is foreshadowing.And that is what God was doing at the Cloisters and with Eudora Welty. He was foreshadowing. He was laying traps, leaving clues, clues I could have seen had I been perceptive enough.” EnoughUseLeavingNovelistsDevicesTrapsRhymeClueForeshadowingAlliterationLiterary DevicesAssonance Book:Girl Meets God: On the Path to a Spiritual Life Source: Girl Meets God: On the Path to a Spiritual Life
