Marilynne Robinson Quotes

There Have Been Heroes Here, And Saints And Martyrs And I Want You To Know That. Because That Is The Truth Even If No One Remembers It. To Look At The Lace, It's Just A Cluster Of Houses Strung Along A Few Roads, And A Little Row Of Brick Buildings With Stores In Them, And A Grain Elevator And A Water Tower With Gilead Written On Its Side, And The Post Office And The Schools And The Playing Fields And The Old Train Station, Which Is Pretty Well Gone To Weeds Now. But What Must Galilee Have Looks Like? You Can't Tell So Much From The Appearance Of A Place.
