Crooked

"My argument against God was that the universe seemed so cruel and unjust. But how had I got this idea of just and unjust? A man does not call a line crooked unless he has some idea of a straight line. What was I comparing this universe with when I called it unjust?"
(C.S. Lewis)

"Kekkeri"

"When I despair, I remember that all through history the way of truth and love have always won. 
There have been tyrants and murderers, and for a time, they can seem invincible, but in the end, they always fall. 
Think of it--always."
(Mahatma Gandhi)
