Xavier wasn’t put on the earth to witness the bad htings like Jules and I were. He had been put here to notice lovely things, things that God had created and no one had any complaints about.

Heather O'NeillIn the temporary illumination of the headlights, the insects were scribbling out messages from God that we couldn’t get.
Heather O'NeillYou see only the beautiful things when you stand still. You only see things that you don't ordinarily notice. The birds are the prettiest things, I imagine.
