who can duly adore that Love which will open the high gates to a prodigal who is brought in kicking, struggling, resentful, and darting his eyes in every direction for a chance of escape?

They exist to bear the burden of all things that cannot be comprehended except by supernatural intervention or design. Barbara Tuchman

Avril Lavigne
