    “Look to your heart
    that flutters in and out like a moth.
    God is not indifferent to your need.
    You have a thousand prayers
    but God has one.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    “In the examples that I here bring in of what I have [read], heard, done or said, I have refrained from daring to alter even the smallest and most indifferent circumstances. My conscience falsifies not an iota; for my knowledge I cannot answer.”
