Madeleine L’Engle Camp (1918 – 2007) was an American writer of fiction, non-fiction, poetry, and young adult fiction, including A Wrinkle in Time and its sequels: A Wind in the Door , A Swiftly Tilting Planet , Many Waters , and An Acceptable Time . Her works reflect both her Christian faith and her strong interest in science.
“You have to write the book that wants to be written. And if the book will be too difficult for grown-ups, then you write it for children.”
“I don’t understand it any more than you do, but one thing I’ve learned is that you don’t have to understand things for them to be.”
“The great thing about getting older is that you don’t lose all the other ages you’ve been.”
“We are all strangers in a strange land, longing for home, but not quite knowing what or where home is. We glimpse it sometimes in our dreams, or as we turn a corner, and suddenly there is a strange, sweet familiarity that vanishes almost as soon as it comes.”
“That’s the way things come clear. All of a sudden. And then you realize how obvious they’ve been all along.”
“I love, therefore I am vulnerable.”
“It might be a good idea if, like the White Queen, we practiced believing six impossible things every morning before breakfast, for we are called on to believe what to many people is impossible. Instead of rejoicing in this glorious “impossible” which gives meaning and dignity to our lives, we try to domesticate God, to make his mighty actions comprehensible to our finite minds.”
