“There is always in the healthy mind an obscure prompting that religion teaches us rather to dig than to climb; that if we could once understand the common clay of earth we should understand everything.

“You could not presume that people were healthy. You could not presume that they would welcome the little nudges and jostlings of life. You had to behave as though everyone you met was walking a thin wire far above the earth, where the slightest wind might rock them off their balance and send them tumbling to the ground.” PeopleLittlesMightEarthRocksWindBalanceWalkingHealthyMetsWelcomeBehaveWireNudgeTumbling Author:Kevin Brockmeier
