Madeleine L'Engle Quote: “All children are artists, and it is an indictment of our culture that so many of them lose their creativity, their unfettered imaginations, as they grow older.”
Madeleine L'Engle Quote: “There are times when I feel that he has withdrawn from me, and I have often given him cause, but Easter is always the answer to My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me!”
Madeleine L'Engle Quote: “If it’s bad art, it’s bad religion, no matter how pious the subject.”
Madeleine L'Engle Quote: “William James wrote: “Our lives are like islands in the sea, or like trees in the forest, which co-mingle their roots in the darkness underground. Just so, there is a continuum of cosmic consciousness, against which our individuality builds but accidental fences, and into which our several minds plunge as into a mother sea or reservoir.”
Madeleine L'Engle Quote: “Infinity is present in each part. A loving smile contains all art. The motes of starlight spark and dart. A grain of sand holds power and might.”
Madeleine L'Engle Quote: “I suspect that in every good marriage there are times when love seems to be over.”
Madeleine L'Engle Quote: “Love isn’t how you feel. It’s what you do. I’ve never had a feeling in my life. As a matter of fact, I matter only with earth people.”
Madeleine L'Engle Quote: “He said, “There’s a sermon of John Donne’s I have often had cause to remember during my lifetime. He says, Other men’s crosses are not my crosses. We all have our own cross to carry, and one is all most of us are able to bear. How much do you owe him, Vicky?”

Madeleine L'Engle Quote: “Have you ever tried to get to your feet with a sprained dignity?”
Madeleine L'Engle Quote: “It might be a good idea if, like the White Queen, we practiced believing six impossible things every morning before breakfast, for we are called on to believe what to many people is impossible. Instead of rejoicing in this glorious “impossible” which gives meaning and dignity to our lives, we try to domesticate God, to make his might actions comprehensible to our finite minds.”
Madeleine L'Engle Quote: “There are still stars which move in ordered and beautiful rhythm. There are still people in this world who keep promises. Even little ones, like your cooking stew over your Bunsen burner. You may be in the middle of an experiment, but you still remember to feed your family. That’s enough to keep my heart optimistic, no matter how pessimistic my mind. And you and I have good enough minds to know how very limited and finite they really are. The naked intellect is an extraordinarily inaccurate instrument.”
Madeleine L'Engle Quote: “If we commit ourselves to one person for life, this is not, as many people think, a rejection of freedom; rather, it demands the courage to move into all the risks of freedom, and the risk of love which is permanent; into that love which is not possession but participation.”
Madeleine L'Engle Quote: “When a promise is broken, the promise still remains. In one way or another, we are all unfaithful to each other, and physical unfaithfulness is not the worst kind there is.”
Madeleine L'Engle Quote: “I don’t know if they’re really like everybody else, or if they’re able to pretend they are.”
Madeleine L'Engle Quote: “It seemed to travel with her, to sweep her aloft in the power of song, so that she was moving in glory among the stars, and for a moment she, too, felt that the words Darkness and Light had no meaning, and only this melody was real.”
Madeleine L'Engle Quote: “Come t’e’ picciol fallo amaro morso! Dante. What grievous pain a little fault doth give thee!”
Madeleine L'Engle Quote: “It’s a good thing to have all the props pulled out from under us occasionally. It gives us some sense of what is rock under our feet, and what is sand. It stops us from taking anything for granted. It has also taught me about living in the immediate moment.”
Madeleine L'Engle Quote: “To marry is the biggest risk in human relations that a person can take.”
Madeleine L'Engle Quote: “We think because we have words, not the other way around. The more words we have, the better able we are to think conceptually.”
Madeleine L'Engle Quote: “Hate is like cancer, separate from the normal cells, devouring and not being nourished, annihilating itself along with everything it attacks.”
Madeleine L'Engle Quote: “And we mustn’t lose our sense of humor,” Mrs. Which said. “The only way to cope with something deadly serious is to try to treat it a little lightly.”
Madeleine L'Engle Quote: “Silence fell between them, as tangible as the dark tree shadows that fell across their laps and that now seemed to rest upon them as heavily as though they possessed a measurable weight of their own.”
Madeleine L'Engle Quote: “Beware of pride and arrogance, Charles, for they may betray you.”
Madeleine L'Engle Quote: “If we allow our “high creativity” to remain alive, we will never be bored. We can pray, standing in line at the super market. Or we can be lost in awe at all the people around us, their lives full of glory and tragedy, and suddenly we will have the beginnings of a painting, a story, a song.”
Madeleine L'Engle Quote: “There was no light. The darkness was deep and there was no dazzle.”
Madeleine L'Engle Quote: “Curled up on one of her pillows a gray fluff of kitten yawned, showing its pink tongue, tucked its head under again, and went back to sleep.”
Madeleine L'Engle Quote: “Refusing to accept God’s love because we’re unworthy – of course we’re unworthy! – is another golden calf.”
Madeleine L'Engle Quote: “Stories are like children. They grow in their own way.”
Madeleine L'Engle Quote: “All will be redeemed in God’s fullness of time, all, not just the small portion of the population who have been given the grace to know and accept Christ. All the strayed and stolen sheep. All the little lost ones.”
Madeleine L'Engle Quote: “Our truest response to the irrationality of the world is to paint or sing or write, for only in such response do we find truth.”
Madeleine L'Engle Quote: “I like the fact that in ancient Chinese art the great painters always included a deliberate flaw in their work: human creation is never perfect.”
Madeleine L'Engle Quote: “My lovely shining fragile broken house is filled with flowers and founded on a rock.”
Madeleine L'Engle Quote: “There are still stars which move in ordered and beautiful rhythm. There are still people in this world who keep promises.”
Madeleine L'Engle Quote: “If we don’t pray according to the needs of the heart, we repress our deepest longings. Our prayers may not be rational, and we may be quite aware of that, but if we repress our needs, then those unsaid prayers will fester.”

Madeleine L'Engle Quote: “A life lived in chaos is an impossibility.”
Madeleine L'Engle Quote: “Oh child, your language is so utterly simple and limited that it has the affect of extreme complication. -Aunt Beast.”
Madeleine L'Engle Quote: “My daughter, I am not a Mrs Whatsit, a Mrs Who, or a Mrs Which. Yes, Calvin has told me everything he could. I am a human being, and a very fallible one. But I agree with Calvin. We were sent here for something. And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.”
Madeleine L'Engle Quote: “Wherever she was, holy laughter was present to heal and redeem.”
Madeleine L'Engle Quote: “The virgin birth has never been a major stumbling block in my struggle with Christianity; it’s far less mind boggling than the Power of all Creation stooping so low as to become one of us.”
Madeleine L'Engle Quote: “That’s something I’ve noticed about food: whenever there’s a crisis if you can get people to eating normally things get better.”
