Kurt Vonnegut

“Every saint has a past, every sinner a future.”

Oscar Wilde

The persistent question we encounter is “From Whence Thy Dissatisfaction?”

God has given each gifts, why is it we’re so predisposed to covet gifts we don’t have and further — to condemn ourselves for not being things we aren’t.
