More quotes by Madeleine L'Engle

"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."
"A book comes and says, 'Write me."
"A book, too, can be a star, a living fire to lighten the darkness, leading out into the expanding universe."
"Truth is what is true, and it's not necessarily factual. Truth and fact are not the same thing. Truth does not contradict or deny facts, but it goes through and beyond facts. This is something that it is very difficult for some people to understand. Truth can be dangerous."
"Stories make us more alive, more human, more courageous, more loving."
