Wrath of god Quote by Breece D'J Pancake
““I walk along the avenue thinking how shit always sinks, and how all these towns dump their shit for the river to push it down to the delta. Then I think about that girl sitting in the alley, sitting in her own slough, and I shake my head. I have not gotten that low. I stop in front of the bus station, look in on the waiting people, and think about all the places they are going. But I know they can't run away from it or drink their way out or die to get rid of it. It's always there, you just look at somebody and they give you a look like the Wrath of God.””

![“AugustineThe wounds of a friend are better than the kisses of an enemy. To love with sternness is better than to deceive with gentleness… In Luke [14:23] it is written: "Compel people to come in!" By threats of the wrath of God, the Father draws souls to his Son.” quote by Saint Augustine](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/a2e/saint-augustine-328_deceiving_augustinethe-wounds-of-a-friend-are-bett_220220.jpg)
