I knew I'd like her!

Quotes from Newsweek interview with Madeleine L'Engle:

Interviewer - Many people see faith as anti-intellectual.
L'Engle: Then they’re not very bright. It takes a lot of intellect to have faith, which is why so many people only have religiosity.

Interviewer - If the Bible is not literally true, does that mean we don’t need to take it seriously?
L'Engle: Oh no, you do, because it’s truth, not fact, and you have to take truth seriously even when it expands beyond the facts.

Ya just gotta love cranky, brilliant women
