I officially finished my intensive Greek course today, so I'm on a month-long break now... woo hoo!!!
I'm excited about my break for many reasons, and one of them is that I get to organize and de-clutter my room. (It clearly doesn't take much to excite me.)
So... I just saw The Poisonwood Bible sitting under my desk and remembered that I had a couple pages marked that I wanted to blog about. And even though I finished the book a while ago, and I don't really have any commentary or thoughts to add, I thought I'd share a couple of quotes. And, really, they're so beautiful that I think my commentary would only discredit them. So, here they are...
To live is to be marked. To live is to change, to acquire the words of a story, and that is the only celebration we mortals really know. In perfect stillness, frankly, I've only known sorrow.
The power is in the balance: we are our injuries, as much as we are our successes.
Oh, man, Barbara... you are somehow profoundly inspirational and bitterly honest all at the same time. (Ok, maybe I did have a comment.)
