Author of quotes: Jonathan Franzen

Life is devoid of duration, salvation is only in depth.

Insomnia has shattered the previously uninterrupted world into sharp pieces.

A simple sincere apology sometimes works wonders.

While we are alive, eternity is in our every second.

... when she sang, her voice filled her ears and torn souls.

I wonder what it's like to live with a man who knows how to rejoice?

This is how we glorify God - by the fact that we appreciate every minute.

Remember that sometimes the best help is just to be there and listen without judging.

The very essence of the soul is immutability.

God should be sought in relationships with people, and not in rites and worship...

Her tears were appropriate, albeit surprising - an example of the fact that the power of sisterly love overcomes sisterly dislike.

The absence of flaws does not mean dignity.

Few things are clearer in the gospel than the incompatibility of love and violence.

What is forbidden is often the most desirable. Something beckons precisely because someone stern or misunderstood forbade you to do so.
