3. What passages strike you as insightful, even profound? Perhaps a bit of dialog that's funny or poignant or that encapsulates a character? Maybe there's a particular comment that states the book's thematic concerns?


message 2: by Jill (new)

Jill A. | 882 comments "Faith, except to one who had learned that Will and Grace were all and emotion nothing, was as a child crawling about in the midst of some huge machinery."

"They have enough faith to act, but not enough to be patient."

"The Catholic Religion gave the only adequate explanation of the universe;...it was the only system that satisfied man as a whole, and accounted for him in his essential nature...the huge superincumbent weight of incredulity could not disturb a fact that was as the sun in heaven."

"Thought was no longer the process of a mind; rather, it was the glance of a spirit."
