Faith Quote by Cheryl Strayed
“I was a terrible believer in things,but I was also a terrible nonbeliever in things. I was as searching as I was skeptical. I didn't know where to put my faith,or if there was such a place,or even what the word faith meant, in all of it's complexity. Everything seemed to be possibly potent and possibly fake.”

![“I just am a believer...that there are some things that happen for a reason...We may not be able to really discern it now...[but] given the perspective of time, I think we're going to be able to look back at this, and what seemed really bad at the time may turn out to be really good.” quote by Eric Cantor](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/f9b/eric-cantor-16699_able_i-just-am-a-believer-that-there-are-some_2218949.jpg)
