Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine.When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.

-Bible (Old Testament)
Isaiah 43:1^2.

A people without history Is not redeemed from time, for history is a pattern Of timeless moments.

-Eliot,T(homas) S(tearns)
