Heaven is not a club we enter. Heaven is a state we attain, in accordance with our “capacity to receive” a blessed and sanctified nature.

God’s power rests not on totalizing omnipotence, but on His ability to alchemize suffering, tragedy, and loss into wisdom, understanding, and joy.

A supreme deity would no more gift us with intellect and expect us to forsake it in moments of bafflement, than He would fashion us eyes to see and bid us shut them to the stars

The greatest act of self-revelation occurs when we choose what we will believe, in that space of freedom that exists between knowing that a thing is, and knowing that a thing is not.

What is always at stake in any decision we make is what that choice turns us into.

What we choose to embrace, to be responsive to, is the purest reflection of who we are and what we love.

Relationships are the core of our existence because they are the core of God's and we are in His image.

...our minds are driven to answer questions that far transcend the bounds of our own lives.

God resides most strongly and evidently where science has not yet progressed to go... And if this is true then it follows that God resides everywhere and in everything.

I have an inferiority complex, but it’s not a very good one.

You have been forgiven, so act like it!

I'm very out of style... or I should say I have my own style.

After you date a player or two it's nice to just chill with a guy that can keep it basic.

What science cannot discover, mankind cannot know.

I never go to a gym unless I have to for a role, a contract. I try to take care of myself as a human being, not because I have to be in front of the camera.

I'd love to do an action movie. Something with lots of stunts. Anything fast and dangerous and involving guns.

There's no magic for getting into the groove... just banging away at it. Sometimes the lyrics come first, sometimes the music.

I never say anything negative about anyone, because that won't get you anywhere.

Most new discoveries are suddenly-seen things that were always there. A new idea is a light that illuminates presences which simply had no form before the light fell on them.
