Action Quote by Madeleine L'Engle
“It might be a good idea if, like the White Queen, we practiced believing six impossible things every morning before breakfast, for we are called on to believe what to many people is impossible. Instead of rejoicing in this glorious "impossible" which gives meaning and dignity to our lives, we try to domesticate God, to make his might actions comprehensible to our finite minds.”

![“There were two things that prevent us from achieving our dreams: believing them to be impossible or seeing those dreams made possible by some sudden turn of the wheel of fortune, when you least expected it. [...] People want to change everything and, at the same time, want it all to remain the same” quote by Paulo Coelho](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/b67/paulo-coelho-10_dreams_there-were-two-things-that-prevent-us-fr_2077912.jpg)
