There was one line that really stuck with me. This was not a Mormon religious book (it is fiction), but it dealt with some religion from the middle ages.
Anyway, the line that caught my attention was, "Perfection is the natural consequence of eternity: wait long enough, and anything will realize its potential. Coal becomes diamonds, sand becomes pearls...."
I thought that was a good way of putting perfection into perspective. We have eternity and if coal can become a diamond, I guess there is hope for the rest of us. :)

Cool quote. Just another reason for the eternities!
That is a cool quote. It really does give the concept a great perspective. Thanks for sharing.
Living life with a "Positive" attitude is SO powerful!!! I LOVE the concept of the book - I may just have to pick it up... Thanks for sharing:0)
David got a lump of coal on a wooden plaque from a coworker for Christmas one year with that same sentiment (since they work with diamonds). I've always liked it because sometimes we all feel like lumps of coal, but under enough pressure we can become diamonds.
