"...though I would' have admitted it, even to myself, I did' want God aboard. He was too heavy. I wanted Him approving from a considerable distance. I did' want to be thinking of Him. I wanted to be free-like Gypsy. I wanted life itself, the color and fire and loveliness of life. And Christ now and then, like a loved poem I could read when I wanted to. I did' want us to be swallowed up in God. I wanted holidays from the school of Christ." - Sheldon Vanauken
