"And of the Witch? In the life of a Witch, there is no "after", in the "ever after" of a Witch there is no "happily"; in the story of a Witch, there is no afterword.

She was dead, dead, and gone, and all that was left of her was the carapace of her reputation for malice."

-- Gregory Maguire

It is so wild that it terrifies some Christians who try to dogmatize their fear by lashing out at other Christians, because tidy Christianity with all answers given is easier than one which reaches out to the wild wonder of God's love, a love we don't even have to earn.”
“No matter where you live, the biggest defect we human beings have is our shortsightedness. We don't see what we could be.”
“I never thought of myself as an entrepreneur before I started this. I just like to build things.”
