By giving words to these intimate experiences I can make my life available to others.

Pay attention to the people God puts in your path if you want to discern what God is up to in your life.

What makes us human is not our mind but our heart, not our ability to think but our ability to love.

I used to say that the newspapers were tomorrow's fish and chip paper, but I didn't really mean it; I could still be hurt by what they said. After Athens, I just didn't care.

Man has always been half-monster, half-dreamer.

Finding out the truth is only half of it. It's what you do with it that matters.
