"Memory is a few lines snipped from a larger story that we are privileged to tuck away between the pages of our minds."
"My argument against God was that the universe seemed so cruel and unjust. But how had I got this idea of just and unjust? A man does not call a line crooked unless he has some idea of a straight line. What was I comparing this universe with when I called it unjust?"
