A silent lover is one who doesn't know his job.

Grace cannot prevail...until our lifelong certainty that someone is keeping score has run out of steam and collapsed.

Jesus came to raise the dead. He did not come to teach the teachable; He did not come to improve the improvable; He did not come to reform the reformable. None of those things works.

Even to this day, grace remains hard to swallow. Religiosity and moralism go down easier than free forgiveness.

This craving for health, wealth, long life, and the like - the so - called good - is nothing but an illusion.

Nothing is so good it lasts eternally. Perfect situations must go wrong. But this has never yet prevented me wanting far too much for far too long.

You've got to push yourself harder. You've got to start looking for pictures nobody else could take. You've got to take the tools you have and probe deeper.
