"Mere Christianity"
Every time you make a choice you are turning the central part of you, the part of you that chooses, into something a little different than it was before. And taking your life as a whole, with all your innumerable choices, all your life long you are slowly turning this central thing into a heavenly creature or a hellish creature: either into a creature that is in harmony with God, and with other creatures, and with itself, or else into one that is in a state of war and hatred with God, and with its fellow creatures, and with itself. To be the one kind of creature is heaven; that is, it is joy and peace and knowledge and power. To be the other means madness, horror, idiocy, rage, impotence, and eternal loneliness. Each of us at each moment is progressing to the one state of the other.
some quotes

as long as the sun, the moon, and the earth exist, everything will be alright.
When I was a little girl, my mama said to me, "You're the princess of the Onion Kingdom!" and I actually believed her.
It's like something was stolen from you and made you a coward! I don't know what it was, but if something was taken from you, then take it back!
The flesh surrenders itself. Eternity takes back its own. Our bodies stirred these waters briefly, danced with a certain intoxication before the love of life and self, dealt with a few strange ideas, then submitted to the instruments of Time. What can we say of this? I occurred. I am not...yet, I occurred
Do not feel bad about it. We are alive, after all. And being alive is pretty much a constant stream of embarrassment.
