""Erebus (Hell) is earned, Charis (Heaven) is not. You take for granted the King's love and are amazed at his wrath. Yet it is his wrath, not his love, which you deserve, every one of you." Marcus (an angel) paced and gestured furiously, speaking with an intensity that frightened me. "Do not wonder why he might despise you - he has every reason to. Wonder why he would love you. It is not his wrath that should amaze you, but his grace. It is not Erebus that should astound you, but Charis!""

Good quote from the book. It is one I have remembered. Maybe it was even marked for you!
It was marked. In fact, you marked several really good quotes - thanks! I might not have spent as much time contemplating if you hadn't drawn attention to them.
