“I find that the more I depend on real life, the less interesting the story is. It's much more common for me to take something that almost-happened, or I wish had happened, and then follow that possibility.” RealStoriesWishInterestingCommonHappenedPossibilityDependsReal Life Author:Sarah Dessen
“I would argue that the truth of Easter does not depend on whether there was an empty tomb, or whether anything happened to the body of Jesus. ... I do not see the Christian tradition as exclusively true, or the Bible as the unique and infallible revelation of God. ... It makes no historical sense to say, 'Jesus was killed for the sins of the world.' ... I am one of those Christians who does not believe in the virgin birth, nor in the star of Bethlehem, nor in the journeys of the wisemen, nor in the shepherds coming to the manger, as facts of history.” WorldBelieveDoeFactsBodyChristianJesusStarsSinHappenedJourneyDependsBirthUniqueTraditionEmptyHistoricalArguingRevelationsVirginsEasterTombsShepherdsInfallibleBethlehemVirgin Birth Author:Marcus Borg
“There either is or is not, that’s the way things are. The colour of the day. The way it felt to be a child. The saltwater on your sunburnt legs. Sometimes the water is yellow, sometimes it’s red. But what colour it may be in memory, depends on the day. I’m not going to tell you the story the way it happened. I’m going to tell it the way I remember it.” WayLifeMayChildrenSometimesStoriesRememberFeltWaterMemoriesHappenedDependsRedLegsColourYellow Author:Charles Dickens
