Quotes[]
- Carl Kolchak: Life travels a crooked path. A course whose shape we cannot recognize except by looking back on it. How happiness leads to heartbreak, how a dark turn leads to peace and joy. Our purpose, like our destination, is hidden, but goodness is a refuge – a soft, warm light into which evil cannot see.
