The Magdalena/Quotes

Patience

 * The first thing I remember is the sound of church bells. Every day they rang out for vespers, their chimes echoing off the stone walls and far off hills. I remember thinking it was the loudest sound in the world. I never guessed I could be so wrong. But I guess that why I'm here. To learn the things I never was taught. My name is Patience. The nuns at Sinclair Abbey say it is proof that God does indeed have a sense of irony. I guess I came to the city for the same reason Thoreau went to the woods. Because I wanted to live deliberately. I did not want to die only to discover that I had not lived. That';s my current rationalization anyway. It's just that deep down I knew there was something more out there. And I wanted to experience it myself. I know what I believe. I know that God is good. I just don't know why he would allow so much suffering. And so much loneliness. - The Magdalena Vol. 2 #1


 * Why hide something so beautiful and inspiring? Wouldn't people want to know about this? About me? Why take miracle and hide in under a bushel? - The Magdalena Vol. 2 #4


 * I believe you and I trust you. It's just...I guess I trust me more. - The Magdalena Vol. 2 #4


 * I know. But I'm not your instrument. You don't understand what I've seen. And maybe neither do I. I have lots of questions and I don't want permission to seek the answers. It's bigger than me. It's bigger than all of us. That is the light I shall follow. - The Magdalena Vol. 2 #4
