Hope is not something you can just place in your back pocket or put your fingers around – it’s the belief in a world that has yet to exist.

I think sunrises are rarer for me, but sunset is my favourite time of day.

Happiness is like peeing in your pants. Everyone can see it, but only you can feel the warmth.

Your story matters, who you are matters, tonight matters, none of it is an accident. You were born for the blue skies.

My challenge is, do not run away from the hard questions. Truly ask yourself what's worth living for in this life.

If we spend our time obsessing with the future or regretting the past, then we will never live. Tomorrow will always be tomorrow and yesterday cannot be changed.

When our world falls apart and we have no more faces to wear - that’s when it’s beautiful, and that’s when we change.

IF YOU APPROACH THE WORLD WITH THE APRON OF A SERVANT,THEN YOU ARE ALLOWED TO GO PLACES THAT YOU CAN'T GO IF YOU APPROACH IT WITH THE CROWN OF A KING

From the shore, the ocean is forever. It's a beautiful, dangerous place. Music is tied to the sea, born from the struggle, looking for hope. Because hope belongs in the dark places.

I don’t think we can solve the outside problems until we solve the ones within.

Eventually everything fails me, but when I look at the sunset or the sky, I'm reminded what it's like to be alive.

The Lord prefers common-looking people. That is why he made so many of them.

Nothing makes one so vain as being told that one is a sinner.

The cardinal responsibility of leadership is to identify the dominant contradiction at each point of the historical process and to work out a central line to resolve it.

Again, like I said, my life has been about being fascinated by objects and the stories that they tell, and also making them for myself, obtaining them, appreciating them and diving into them.

What now does the divine immanence mean in direct Christian experience? It means simply that God is here. Wherever we are, God is here. Ther eis no place, there can be no place, where He is not.

Don't avoid eye contact and don't be late

I think a philistine environment should be bracing for young artists. You have to make your own enjoyment, you've got to make your own art.

Society has really no graver interest than the well-being of the literary class.

I think it's OK to compose songs and sing them about questions that we don't have answers to yet.

Your short-term memory really is shot! It must drive you nuts!!
