Quote by Marilynne Robinson

“I have decided the two choices open to me are (1) to torment myself or (2) to trust the Lord. There is no earthly solution to the problems that confront me. But I can add to my problems, as I believe I have done, by dwelling on them. So, no more of that.”

“Mi Libertad (El Soneto) Mi libertad no está en el lujo, Mi libertad está en las briznas de hierba. Mi libertad no está en el palacio, Mi libertad está en el polvo de la tierra. Mi libertad no está en ceremonias elegantes, Está en los callejones de los desamparados. Mi libertad no está en las joyas de la corona, Mi libertad está a los pies de los olvidados. Mi libertad no está en adornos de rigidez, Está más allá de toda tradición muerta. No en los hábitos de la historia, Mi libertad está en construir el presente. Mi libertad está en la destrucción del destino. ¡Soy libertad, soy realidad, soy humano!”
