About This Quote
In the novel “The Goldfinch,” Donna Tartt writes, “We may pick and choose to graft different fruits onto our spiritual tree, but regardless of what we call it, others will see a confusing fruit salad.” This quote is a metaphor for how different people can decide to have different experiences with God. People who have a strong faith will understand that what they experience with God is exactly what they need. Those without faith may see these people as confused or even crazy.
