…faith is not necessarily, or not soon, a resting place. Faith puts you out on a wide river in a little boat, in the fog, in the dark. Even a man of faith knows that we’ve all got to go through enough to kill us.
-- Wendell Berry, Jayber Crow
Understanding is the reward of faith. Therefore seek not to understand that you may believe, but believe that you may understand.
-- St. Augustine
I am a man who has hoped, in time, that his life, when poured out at the end, would say, “Good-good-good-good-good!” like a gallon jug of the prime local spirit. I am a man of losses, regrets, griefs. I am an old man full of love. I am a man of faith.
-- Wendell Berry, Jayber Crow
