“We who play the game of life so desperately for temporal stakes might be playing at love with God for higher stakes—our selves, and his. We play against one another for possessions, who might be playing with the King who stakes his throne and what is his against our lives and all we are: a game in which the more is lost, the more is won.”

“Let us tell them the painful truth, that most of these works of art are about God, whom we never mention in polite society.”
