They are prepared for a God who strikes hard bargains but not for a God who gives as much for an hour's work as for a day's. They are prepared for a mustard-seed kingdom of God no bigger than the eye of a newt but not for the great banyan it becomes with birds in its branches singing Mozart.

V življenju se nam neštetokrat zgodijo posebna naključja oziroma sočasnosti - tista hipna srečanja in dogodki, ki v sebi nosijo potencial, da nam popolnoma spremenijo življenje. Mnogo takih trenutkov zgrešimo, ker se morda preprosto prestrašimo tega, kar bi odkrili o sebi, če bi se prepustili tej izkušnji. ↗

Did the men steal the papers?" Reynie asked, fearing her response. No, because they are fools," Sophie said bitterly. "They demanded to see the papers, and when I did not answer fast enough -- they were very frightening, you see -- they hurt me so that I was not awake. . . . When I opened my eyes they were still trying to find the papers. They did not understand how we organize the library, you see. They were angry and creating a bad mess. . . . The police were coming and the men decided they must leave. I shouted at them as they left: 'It is a free and public library! All you had to do was ask! ↗
