Madeleine L'Engle (1918-2007)

One of my all time favorite writers, Madeleine L'Engle, died on Thursday, September 7, 2007.

From A Circle of Quiet:

Then there's a third way: to live as though you believe that the power behind the universe is a power of love, a love so great that all of us really do matter to him. He loves us so much that every single one of our lives has meaning; he really does know about the fall of the sparrow, and the hairs on our head are really counted. That's the only way I can live.
