"But in fact Our Lord has never made any promises regarding the triumph of Christianity on earth- on the contrary. If we expect to see His cause triumph here , His own words should warn us: 'The Son of Man, when He cometh, shall He find, think you, faith on earth?' He did not tell us the answer."

-Sigrid Undset, St. Catherine of Siena

"Writing is the best way of working out your ideas; so if you wait until you know exactly what you want to say before writing, you will miss the best way of determining exactly what you want to say."
