“If you wish to glimpse inside a human soul and get to know a man, don’t bother analyzing his ways of being silent, of talking, of weeping, of seeing how much he is moved by noble ideas; you will get better results if you just watch him laugh. If he laughs well, he’s a good man.”
- Fyodor Dostoyevsky

I thank God that I have lived long enough to come to understand that the shadow in which I felt that all my characters had to move and live in fact was cast by God’s sheltering hand. And that’s what the father knew about me that i didn’t know about myself.

“When suffering shatters the carefully kept vase that is our lives, God stoops to pick up the pieces. But He doesn’t put them back together as a restoration project patterned after our former selves. Instead, He sifts through the rubble and selects some of the shards as raw material for another project - a mosaic that tells the story of redemption”

Mildred: Let me alone. I didn't do anything.
Montag: Let you alone! That's all very well, but how can I leave myself alone? We need not to be let alone. We need to be really bothered once in a while. How long is it since you were really bothered?

Our worst days are never so bad that you are beyond the reach of God’s grace. And your best days are never so good that you are beyond the need of God’s grace.
