Madeleine L Engle quotes

Conversion for me was not a Damascus Road experience. I slowly moved into an intellectual acceptance of what my intuition had always known.

Because you're not what I would have you be, I blind myself to who, in truth, you are.

The great thing about getting older is that you don't lose all the other ages you've been.

In the evening of life we shall be judged on love, and not one of us is going to come off very well, and were it not for my absolute faith in the loving forgiveness of my Lord I could not call on him to come.

Inspiration usually comes during work, rather than before it.

The great thing about getting older is that you don't lose all the other ages you've been.

In the evening of life we shall be judged on love, and not one of us is going to come off very well, and were it not for my absolute faith in the loving forgiveness of my Lord I could not call on him to come.
