Questions of worth-of value-appear only when we have to take seriously the possibility that we answer to someone or something beyond our desires-whether family, God, reason, or something else entirely.

— from The Air Traffic Controller (God)

In the book

There is Someone above the cockpit. Questions of real worth and value, in fact, only even arise once you take seriously the possibility that you answer to someone beyond yourself. So ask it honestly, the way it was once put to me: what if it is actually true — what if, in the end, you do answer to God for the shape of your whole life? — The Air Traffic Controller (God)
