“No long-term marriage is made easily, and there have been times when I’ve been so angry or so hurt that I thought my love would never recover. And then, in the midst of near despair, something has happened beneath the surface. A bright little flashing fish of hope has flicked silver fins and the water is bright and suddenly I am returned to a state of love again — till next time. I’ve learned that there will always be a next time, and that I will submerge in darkness and misery, but that I won’t stay submerged. And each time something has been learned under the waters; something has been gained; and a new kind of love has grown. The best I can ask for is that this love, which has been built on countless failures, will continue to grow. I can say no more than that this is mystery, and gift, and that somehow or other, through grace, our failures can be redeemed and blessed.”
– Madeleine L’Engle (1918-2007)

Writer Madeleine L’Engle made her name in the young adult fiction genre where her fantastic stories have roots in scientific discovery. In addition to having a full life as an accomplished writer, she was a wife and mother who wrote as beautifully about her marriage to actor Hugh Franklin as she did about science and imagination in the novels which made her a household name.
