If I want to take a picture, I take it no matter what.

I used to think that I could never lose anyone if I photographed them enough. In fact, my pictures show me how much I’ve lost.

No matter what, don't live a life where you're too scared to die for what you believe in. Always go at it with everything you've got, even if it doesn't seem to be enough.

Through the written Word we discover the Living Word—Jesus Christ.

When terrorism strikes, divisive anger is a natural response.

I would sacrifice peace for a sovereign Bosnia-Herzegovina ... but for that peace in Bosnia-Herzegovina I would not sacrifice sovereignty.

There are too many books. The books are terrible. And this is because you have been taught to have self-esteem.

Crises and deadlocks when they occur have at least this advantage, that they force us to think.

My mother's five foot two and, I'll be honest with you, she's the only person I'm scared of.

They used to draw cartoons of Jews in Germany. Later they started killing them in the Holocaust.

Be comforted with this divine thought that your spiritual and physical pains are the test of the Divine Will.
