Memories belong in the soil, in stone, in wind. They are the land's unseen meaning, such that touches the soul of all who would look - truly look - upon it. Touches, in faintest whisper, old, almost shapeless echoes - to which a mortal life adds its own. (Steven Erikson)

Through Jesus Christ, the Son of God, we enter into communion with the Father and thus attain our purpose. View quote

The soul of a humble man is like the sea: throw a stone into the sea - for a moment it will ruffle the surface a little, and then sink to the bottom. Thus do afflictions disappear down into the heart of the humble man, because the strength of the Lord is with him. View quote
