“It’s ok to not look back.
It’s ok to look forward to the future
with a broken heart and a limp.
Is there any other way to
travel toward God
this side of heaven?”

“The first demand any work of art makes upon us is surrender. Look. Listen. Receive. Get yourself out of the way. (There is no good asking first whether the work before you deserves such a surrender, for until you have surrendered you cannot possibly find out.)”
