“I don't want to paint myself as some kind of saint - that would be laughable - but I do think I've been able over the years to write humanely about subjects who are controversial and even contemptible.

“The system - the American one, at least - is a vast and noble experiment. It has been polestar and exemplar for other nations. But from kindergarten until she graduates from college the girl is treated in it exactly like her brothers. She studies the same subjects, becomes proficient at the same sports. Oh, it is a magnificent lore she learns, education for the mind beyond anything Jane Austen or Saint Theresa or even Mrs. Pankhurst ever dreamed. It is truly Utopian. But Utopia was never meant to exist on this disheveled planet.” MindHas BeensGirlNationsSportsEducationStudySubjectsCollegePlanetsBrotherSaintNobleExperimentsTreatedGraduatesMagnificentJaneUtopiaUtopianLike HerKindergartenAustenTheresa Book:The province of the heart Source: The province of the heart
“When God calls a man, He does not repent of it. God does not, as many friends do, love one day, and hate another; or as princes, who make their subjects favourites, and afterwards throw theminto prison. This is the blessedness of a saint; his condition admits of no alteration. God's call is founded upon His decree, and His decree is immutable. Acts of grace cannot be reversed.God blots out His people's sins, but not their names.” PeopleMenDoeChristianHateNamesSinGraceConditionsSubjectsOne DayBlessingPrisonSaintChristian LifeRepentDecreeMany FriendsAlterationsChastisementBlessedness Book:All Things for Good Source: All Things for Good
“I used to think, if I were the Lord, I would not suffer people to be tried as they are. But I have changed my mind on that subject.
