Belief

“If you stumble about believability, what are you living for? Love is hard to believe, ask any lover. Life is hard to believe, ask any scientist. God is hard to believe, ask any believer. What is your problem with hard to believe?”

― Yann Martel, Life of Pi

Standing Still

"Time stands still best in moments that look suspiciously like ordinary life." ~ Brian Andreas
