Set the Stars Alight QUOTES

1 " Everyone knows. I think even Clara knows, deep down, though she's convinced that advertising that the farm is wireless - for her meaning without Internet - adds to the draw of the place. So we alll pretend it's not here and only use it when we have to. And life is better without it, honestly. It's nice not being constantly connected. It makes us... more connected, ironically. "

2 " He is coming, and coming, and coming, and coming after you. In every sunset, in every snatch of birdsong In everything that stirs deep into you and makes you hungry for bigger things, eternal things. That is Him, pursuing you with tenderest grace. In the places so hard they wring your soul. In the places so beautiful they steal your breath. He is there, filling your soul, giving you breath. "

4 " The world is dark, so dark we sometimes forget the stars. But they are always there - we need only fight to see these brilliant places of light, these echoes of the truest story. Of a man who gave his life for another - and of a Man, centuries before him, who gave His life for the world. The One who is coming....and coming.....and coming after you. Fighting for your heart. Every breathe a gift. "

6 " Here they were. Two souls, buried alive beneath the earth beside the sea, in a place of nowhere - an empty cave that felt impossibly full as Juliette took flight where there was no sky. "
