St. Teresa of Avila

     "The feeling remains that God is on the journey, too."

Jay Joslin

"Even in absurdity, sacrament.
Even in hardship, holiness.
Even in doubt, faith.
Even in chaos, realization.
Even in paradox, blessedness."

Henry David Thoreau in Walden

     "Always maintain a kind of summer even in the middle of winter."

Douglas Adams in Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

     "In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and has been widely regarded as a bad move."
