All mankind is of one author, and is one volume; when one man dies, one chapter is not torn out of the book, but translated into a better language, and every chapter must be so translated. God employs several translators: some pieces are translated by age, some by sickness, some by war, some by justice. But God's hand is on every translation, and his hand shall bind up all our scattered leaves again for that library where every book shall be open to one another--
Poet John Donne
Quoted by Dallas Willard in Renovation of the Soul, page 185
