“We come from long lines of people destined never to meet.”
Original: Esistono persone speciali, rare, che non si incontrano per caso, ma che arrivano come un dono dal cielo. Ti raggiungono per incoraggiarti, per esserti accanto nei momenti di fragilità, negli istanti in cui il mondo sembra crollarti addosso. Queste persone fanno parte di quel sottile spazio di vita, definito meraviglia.

“Now, to-day, this moment, is our chance to choose the right side.”
Book II, Chapter 5, "The Practical Conclusion"
Mere Christianity (1952)
Context: Now, to-day, this moment, is our chance to choose the right side. God is holding back to give us that chance. It will not last for ever. We must take it or leave it.
