“God does not require us to give up anything that it is for our best interest to retain. In all that He does, He has the well-being of His children in view. Would that all who have not chosen Christ might realize that He has something vastly better to offer them than they are seeking for themselves. Man is doing the greatest injury and injustice to his own soul when he thinks and acts contrary to the will of God.”

“Blinking hard, she watched two Toltec nobles disembark from the aircraft and rush up the steps. One of them argued with the priest who had proclaimed her death sentence. The taller of the two, wearing what she dimly registered as the uniform of the Generals Council, demanded the keys to her shackles. Securing them, he walked behind the post. A curious mixture of anticipation and confusion filled Helen. Although she did not know him, a tenuous sense of hope stirred deep within her simply because he was there with her. She turned her head from side to side, trying to watch him as he worked to free her. “Who are you, my lord? Why are you here?” “You sent me a lecture not long ago about your duty as a healer, Lieutenant,” he replied, on one knee behind her to unlock the manacles around her ankles. “I am your father.”

“Love doesn't exist without sacrifice. Sometimes those sacrifices are waking up ten minutes early to make your partner coffee. Sometimes it's taking on a second job to support your family. Sometimes it's staying up all night with a newborn so your significant other can finally sleep. Sometimes it's shoveling the other person's car out of the driveway after a snowstorm.' She places her palm against my wet cheek and smiles softly. 'And sometimes it's making the ultimate sacrifice and walking away for the greater good.”

“A temple dancer named Vellayi(meaning fair, white woman) decided to enact an act of defiant resistance to the Islamist commander who was doing this. She seduced him and took him to a top temple tower, and then, as he approached her, she threw him down from the tower, which immediately killed the general. ..she and her community should be given the honour of getting fire for the rites from the sacred ovens from where the food for the Lord was cooked and that Prasad and divine-symbol honours should be given. That promise was made to her, and it was then being followed through generations. One of the towers of Sri Rangam is painted in pure honour of this dancer-girl.”
