God has always opened one door after another. Sometimes you think all the doors are closed and just when you think that, a door opens.

My brother and I grew up in a musical family. We have an older sister who sings and plays the piano. Our dad is a musician. Music was always a part of our lives.

To me, Gospel music is really any music that's a testimony and tells a story of what God has done in your life.

Nobody ever feels like they've arrived. That's just the nature of being a creative type of person. You always feel like you can get better or reach more people.

Many of those who are humiliated are not humble. Some react to humiliation with anger, others with patience, and others with freedom. The first are culpable, the next harmless, the last just.

If we take memetics seriously then the 'me' that could do the choosing is itself a memetic construct: a fluid and ever-changing group of memes installed in a complicated meme machine.

Freedom is the natural state, acceptance of bonds is a choice we make. We prefer to accept loss of freedom to losing something much less valuable but which we are not willing to sacrifice.

There are always unfavourable consequences to consuming unnatural foods.

The earth is our mother. She should not be disturbed by hoe or plough. We want only to subsist on what she freely gives us.

I'm pretty cerebral, so I can occasionally rationalize emotional pain away, but when I can't, that's when I start to feel the fire inside take over and somehow manage to power through.

You're all mad for words. Words are just farts from a lot of fools who have swallowed too many books. Give me things!

The doll had an adult shaped body, the thing that I had been trying to describe for years, and our guys said it couldn't be done.

Men are not taking women's job, which are good jobs. Being a nurse is an excellent job.
