Quote of the Day (Madeleine L'Engle, on Maturity and Vulnerability)

“When we were children, we used to think that when we were grown-up we would no longer be vulnerable. But to grow up is to accept vulnerability...To be alive is to be vulnerable.”—American young-adult writer Madeleine L'Engle (1918-2007), Walking on Water: Reflections on Faith and Art (1980)
