It’s no coincidence that just at this point in our insight into our  mysteriousness as human beings struggling towards compassion, we are  also moving into an awakened interest in the language of myth and fairy  tale. The language of logical arguments, of proofs, is the language of  the limited self we know and can manipulate. But the language of parable  and poetry, of storytelling, moves from the imprisoned language of the  provable into the freed language of what I must, for lack of another  word, continue to call faith. —Madeleine L’Engle 
I love this quote. I've read most everything she wrote and appreciate how she stretched my thinking and view of life and the world.
