My Brother Quotes - Page 32

• Why had we let it go? Why had we both been condemned...to an exile among dreary strangers who had made us give up all desire for rest, for friendship, for the sound of human voices?

Who made it our duty to accept, as the only reward for our work, the gray torture of pretending love for those who roused nothing but contempt?

• I played to win. When I was a child, my brothers and I played cowboys and Indians in the park, and I was always an Indian who got captured.

• I can admire the solemn and stately language of worship that recognizes the greatness of God, but it will not warm my heart or express my soul until it has also blended therewith the joyful nearness of that perfect love that casts out fear and ventures to speak with our Father in heaven as a child speaks with its father on earth. My brother, no veil remains.

Then flute and oboe bored, like worms of like platinum, into the thick thick toffee gold and silver. I was in such bliss, my brothers.
