a wrinkle in time

a voyage of hope into time-space wrinkles

a tale by madeleine l'engle

Don't hope it was a dream...

With our human limitations we're not always able to understand the explanations. But you see, Meg, just because we don't understand doesn't mean that the explanation doesn't exist.

My child, do not despair. Do you think we would have brought you here if there were no hope? We are asking you to do a difficult thing, but we are confident that you can do it.

This is something you can understand, Meg. Don't afraid to try.

Disappointment was as dark and corrosive in her as the Black Thing. The ugly words tumbled from her cold lips even as she herself could not believe that it was her father, her beloved, longed-for-father, that she was talking to in this way.

I wanted you to do it all for me. I wanted everything to be all easy and simple... so I tried to pretend that it was all your fault... because I was scared, and I didn't want to have to do anything myself -

Don't be afraid to be afraid.
