Chapter 1 - Our Deepest Longing
When a doctoral student as Princeton asked, "what is there left in the world for original dissertation research?" Albert Einstein replied, "Find out about prayer. Somebody must find out about prayer."
The book is called Prayer (does it make a difference) by Phillip Yancey.

She came out of the store just in time to see her young son playing on the sidewalk directly in the path of a grey, gaunt man who strode down the centre of the walk like a mechanical derelict.

I'd had more than my fair share of near-death experiences, it wasn't something you ever really got use to.

"Each winter has a personality of its own; this one had been gentle in terms of snowfall yet relentlessly cold, with few storms but lots of nasty ice and miserable temperatures." From Dog Days: Dispatches from Bedlam Farm, by Jon Katz.

I like: "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times." But I haven't read that book yet A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens. However, I think it's the most known and adapted line of a book ever.
