Quote #10
I left the church as confused as I had entered it. But one thing was certain: my mother wasn't insane. She could in some mysterious way communicate with her God. But I knew I could never have her kind of faith; I could never believe as deeply in a God who seemed oblivious to the pain of blacks and seemed to favour whites, for suffering had made me, at too young an age, too dependent upon my own free will. (39.31).
Though Mark is able to recognize that his mother's faith is genuine, he is unable to submit himself to any power other than his own mind and will.
