Madeleine L'Engle Quote

Her father said, You know, my dears, the world has been abnormal for so long that we’ve forgotten what it’s like to live in a peaceful and reasonable climate. If there is to be any peace or reason, we have to create it in our own hearts and homes. Even at a time like this? Meg asked. The call from Calvin, the sound of her husband’s voice, had nearly broken her control. Especially at a time like this, her mother said gently.
