Chicks Quote by Mary Doria Russell
“Feelings are facts. Look straight at 'em and deal with 'em. Work it through, as honestly as you can. If God is anything like a middle-class white chick from the suburbs, which I admit is a long shot, it's what you do about what you feel that matters.”

![“[John] watched the flames for a while. "I would have to say that I find God in serving His children.
