WIST

You can safely assume that you’ve created God in your own image when it turns out that God hates all the same people you do.

Anne Lamott (b. 1954)
Bird by Bird: Some Instructions on Writing and Life (1994)
She attributes the quote to "my priest friend Tom"

Hope begins in the dark, the stubborn hope that if you just show up and try to do the right thing, the dawn will come. You wait and watch and work: you don’t give up.
