Conflict in close relationships is not only inevitable, it's essential. Intimacy connects people who are inevitably different.

Basic human contact - the meeting of eyes, the exchanging of words - is to the psyche what oxygen is to the brain. If you're feeling abandoned by the world, interact with anyone you can.

Given the eclectic and constantly shifting nature of my metaphysical inclinations, I will probably never feel certain exactly what an angel is.

At times in my life, I have been utterly lonely. At other times, I've had disgusting infectious diseases. Try admitting these things in our culture.

If you're feeling abandoned by the world, interact with anyone you can.

Instead of fretting about getting everything done, why not simply accept that being alive means having things to do? Then drop into full engagement with whatever you're doing, and let the worry go.

Don't expect the future to look like the past. Clear away expectations, and let yourself picture a wild, grand new world.

Whether you've seen angels floating around your bedroom or just found a ray of hope at a lonely moment, choosing to believe that something unseen is caring for you can be a life-shifting exercise.

Although beauty may be in the eye of the beholder, the feeling of being beautiful exists solely in the mind of the beheld.

Standards of beauty are arbitrary. Body shame exists only to the extent that our physiques don't match our own beliefs about how we should look.

Every day brings new choices.

The temple of God is the holy people in Jesus Christ. The Body of Christ is the living temple of God and of the new humanity.

May the light illuminate your hearts and shine in your life every day of the year. May everlasting peace be yours and upon our Earth.

Intelligence must follow faith never precede it and never destroy it.

The attempt to combine wisdom and power has only rarely been successful and then only for a short while.

You can expect interior enforcement actions in the future.

I love meeting people who have absolutely no sense of irony. It's really fascinating to imagine what it would be like to go through life without understanding even the most basic of ironies.

Have we the humility to thank our Father for the gift of pain?

I always knew how to draw a crowd.

Words that come from the heart are never spoken, they get caught in the throat and can only be read in ones's eyes.

I'm not the most loved person on the planet. People assume they understand who I am by what I do.
