Throwaways Quotes & Sayings

My Selection wasn't a farce, but it wasn't that far off. My father chose all the

God is an ironist. He folds the story up in unexpected ways, tying things together that we could never have imagined. He is the ironist of time, of history, of story. He, in possession of ultimate right-handed power, determined to set it all aside, and overcame evil by taking on an invincible vulnerability, inviting us to learn how to do the same.
