Famous Pepper Basham Quotes

“Dear Lord, what do You want from me? I'll happily oblige, if You'll let me know. I understand asking for an overt sign feels rather faithless, but I'd be content with a shooting star or a voice from heaven or even a message scrawled on a wall as long as it didn't mar the beauty of Whitlock's marble walls. Something fairly obvious, if You please, because I'm quite a distractible creature, as You well know, and...I only want to do the right thing, whatever that right thing may be.”

“My father always told me to never outgrow my belief in faith and fairy tales, but fear has a way of darkening one’s vision, and so I’d lost of the beauty God displayed through magical stories. Not so much the glass slippers or the poisoned apples, but the deeper truths. The light overcoming darkness. The rewards of perseverance. The beauty that can come through trials of thorns or battles or even sleeping death. I’d forgotten that imagination gives me so much more than the ability to fall into the world of a book. It motivates my dreams, inspires remarkable love, and helps me see beyond this world to a greater one (pp. 249-250).”
