The Daily Quotable

"I said the inmate's name. It felt strange on my lips, like a first cigarette or a word from another language. It was a name I had refused to speak for more than twenty years, a name I had wanted to be forgotten, consigned to a place where only God goes: the name of the person who had murdered my younger sister, her husband, and their unborn child some twenty-three years before. It was a name I'd sworn never to speak.

"But God had other plans."

-Jeanne Bishop, Change of Heart;  Westminster John Knox Press
