Quotes about bell
1. I have faith that God will show you the answer. But you have to understand that sometimes it takes a while to be able to recognize what God wants you to do. That's how it often is.

But other times, in those rarest of moments, the answer is obvious and rings as loud as a church bell.
- Nicholas Sparks, The Last Song

A clerk and a ladder and warm golden light, and then: the right book exactly, at exactly the right time.
- Robin Sloan, Mr. Penumbra's 24-Hour Bookstore
