I'm just waiting for God to tell me what to do, but whatever it is, I want to be doing something like I am doing now-serving God and helping people.

I don't need easy, I just need possible.

Courage doesn't mean you don't get afraid. Courage means you don't let fear stop you.

People can do whatever they want if they just set their heart to it, and just never give up, and just go out there and do it.

Life is a lot like surfing… When you get caught in the impact zone, you’ve got to just get back up. Because you never know what may be over the next wave.

Life is full of what-ifs. You can’t let it hold you back. If you do, you’re not really living at all… just kind of going through the motions with no meaning

Love is bigger then a tsunami, stronger then any fear.

Being creative on the waves is challenging, but we each create art in our own way.

Nothing brings to life again a forgotten memory like a fragrance.

The burden of keeping three people in toilet paper seemed to me rather a heavy one.

I think it's the most responsible thing you can do, to have kids. It's not something to be taken lightly. I don't have that gene that people have to replicate.

I feel like most people aren't either/or, they're both/and. You're both magnanimous and petty. You're both kind and cruel. You're never just one thing.

[Adams] supposed that, except musicians, everyone thought Beethoven a bore, as every one except mathematicians thought mathematics a bore.

You can ride, you can travel with a friend of your own; The final step you must take alone. No wisdom is better than this when known: That every hard thing is done alone.

God wants to light your way.

I am in no way interested in immortality, but only in the taste of tea.

What I see everywhere in the world are ordinary people willing to confront despair, power, and incalculable odds in order to restore some semblance of grace, justice, and beauty to this world.
