"I am convinced that my life belongs to the whole community; and as long as I live, it is my privilege to do for it whatever I can, for the harder I work the more I live. I rejoice in life for its own sake. Life is no brief candle to me. It is a sort of splendid torch which I got hold of for a moment, and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before turning it over to future generations." George Bernard Shaw

A Wrinkle in Time

March 28
At first I was not sure if I was going to like the book. But, as I was telling myself ....I don't really care for this book, I found myself not wanting to put the book down...I wanted to know if they would find Mr. Murry and if they would ever get home etc..etc... So I guess overall I must say the book kept my interest.
I find it interesting the different views and definitions of evil. I automatically equated evil with the devil...I guess because of my Catholic upbringing. The old phrase of "The devil made me do it" kept popping in my mind.
Even though the book made many references to the scriptures, I don't feel that this was a religious book. I think L'Engle concentrated more on self belief and the power one can have when they believe in themselves. I did like how the book stressed that outside beauty is basically superficial and a persons power comes from within.
