But now, thus says the LORD, your Creator, O Jacob,  And He who formed you, O Israel,  Do not fear, for I have redeemed you;  I have called you by name; you are Mine! When you pass through the waters, I will be with you;  And through the rivers, they will not overflow you.  When you walk through the fire, you will not be scorched,  Nor will the flame burn you.  For I am the LORD your God,  The Holy One of Israel, your Savior;  I have given Egypt as your ransom,  Cush and Seba in your place.  Since you are precious in My sight,  Since you are honored and I love you,  I will give other men in your place and other peoples in exchange for your life.  Do not fear, for I am with you;  I will bring your offspring from the east,  And gather you from the west.  I will say to the north, 'Give them up!'  And to the south, 'Do not hold them back.'  Bring My sons from afar  And My daughters from the ends of the earth,  Everyone who is called by My name,  And whom I have created for My glory,  Whom I have formed, even whom I have made. ~Isaiah 43:1-7 ↗

Quand tu veux construire un bateau, ne commence pas par rassembler du bois, couper des planches et distribuer du travail, mais reveille au sein des hommes le desir de la mer grande et large. If you want to build a ship, don't drum up people together to collect wood and don't assign them tasks and work, but rather teach them to long for the endless immensity of the sea. ↗

— Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

Once in a while you find yourself in an odd situation. You can get into it by degrees and in the most natural way but, when you are right in the midst of it, you are suddenly astonished and ask yourself how in the world it all came about. ↗

This is an old family secret, and I just found this out recently, and it almost broke my heart. My mother said to me, 'I had never told you this, but God, you were an ugly baby'. ↗
