From what I remember of praying in school, it was almost an insult to God, a rote exercise in moving your mouth while daydreaming or checking out the cutest boy in the seventh grade that was a far, far cry from soul-searching.”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)

“There are no whole truths; all truths are half-truths. It is trying to treat them as whole truths that plays the devil.”
