Quote by Gregory S. Williams

“Alison continued squeezing the inflatable ball on the blood pressure monitor. I could sense the tension on her face as she carefully licked her lips, then glanced up at him with the subtle nuance of an American Idol judge at a hootenanny.”

“Life is a series of paths lit softly by faith, hope, and resilience. Align your actions with your goals and trust the path ahead… Do not lose faith, even if all you can see is the next few steps. Yes, sometimes the path will be well-lit and chaotic… but other segments are meant to be walked in dimly-lit stillness… illuminated not by the destination, but by the quiet beauty of the journey. Be strengthened by your faith and walk forward… the light will always meet your steps.”

“Every time I close my eyes I can still see her--- beaming up at the camera in that flimsy excuse for clothing, her hair a golden halo around her head, her body backlit and glorious. I am filled with rage. At the photographer for taking that picture. At Cassie for allowing so many others to see her practically naked. At all seven billion people on this planet who have the theoretical ability to see that picture of her with a few simple clicks of a button. At myself. As I sit hunched over my desk I try desperately to ignore the urgent, now-familiar ache in my loins. As Cassie sleeps innocently, unknowingly in the next room, I clutch at what remains of my sanity and of my self-control. Because God's thumbs--- when I saw that picture of her all I could think was how badly I want Cassie to wear that "bathing suit" of hers for me. If I had been there when it was taken, it would have been all I could do to keep myself from easing those delicate little straps of fabric off her shoulders and baring the rest of her beautiful body to my eyes.”

“There are moments in life when reason fails, when even the greatest genius is worth nothing. All the years studying, learning, training obscure the brutal fact that there are things we cannot know. A woman could pace out the distance between Dombâng and Rassambur, but the world is filled with spaces we can never measure, effects forever severed from their causes, furious motion for which the prime mover has been lost. It was possible Ananshael sent the spider, possible he did not. In the face of a god who resists all interrogation, the only way forward is faith.”
