Even when God seemed to have abandoned me, he was watching.... - Yann Martel, Life of Pi

"Even when God seemed to have abandoned me, he was watching. Even when he seemed indifferent to my suffering, he was watching. And when I was beyond all hope of saving, he gave me rest. Then he gave me a sign to continue my journey."
