• I still believe in man in spite of man. I believe in language even though it has been wounded, deformed, and perverted by the enemies of mankind.

It is up to us to choose whether we wish to use them to curse or to heal, to wound or to console.

I do not know how long I continued my prayer, but this I do know - - my fear was gone! Interceding for others had released me!

• Don't ever believe that you are going to be peaceful-life is not like that. When you are changing all the time, you've got to continue to keep adjusting to change, which means that you are going to be constantly facing new obstacles. That's the joy of living. And once you are involved in the process of becoming, there is no stopping. You're doomed! You're gone! But what a fantastic journey! Every day is new. Every flower is new. Every face is new. Everything in the world is new, every morning of your life. Stop seeing it as a drag!
