“I am a futility. The life of prayer begins with that. And God is not a comfort, to be offered like Kleenex. God is a poisoned sea, with broken syringes washing up on the beach.

“And I have by me, for my comfort, two strange white flowers - shriveled now, and brown and flat and brittle - to witness that even when mind and strength had gone, gratitude and a mutual tenderness still lived on in the heart of men.” MenMindHeartStillsTwoWhiteGoneStrangeFlowerGratitudeComfortWitnessBrownFlatsMutualTendernessTime MachineWhite Flowers Book:The Time Machine (Sparklesoup Classics) Source: The Time Machine (Sparklesoup Classics)
