More quotes by Madeleine L'Engle

"Death is contagious; it is contracted the moment we are conceived."
"Stories make us more alive, more human, more courageous, more loving."
"Some things have to be believed to be seen."
"If it can be verified, we don't need faith... Faith is for that which lies on the other side of reason. Faith is what makes life bearable, with all its tragedies and ambiguities and sudden, startling joys."
"It might be a good idea if, like the White Queen, we practiced believing six impossible things every morning before breakfast, for we are called on to believe what to many people is impossible. Instead of rejoicing in this glorious "impossible"which gives meaning and dignity to our lives, we try to domesticate God, to make his might actions comprehensible to our finite minds."
