If life isn't about human beings and living in harmony, then I don't know what it's about.

I am a hopeless romantic and I love to spoil my girlfriends.

I missed my home - like the physicality of my home, I missed my friends and my family mostly and just hanging out and being in your home country - culturally it feels right and that is what I miss.

I speak the truth not so much as I would but as much as I dare and I dare a little more as I grow older.

But thinks, admitted to that equal sky, His faithful dog shall bear him company.

For some reason, I have better luck when I work with women. I guess I have a good sense of sisterhood.

Patience is the art of caring slowly.

Failure is in a sense the highway to success, as each discovery of what is false leads us to seek earnestly after what is true.

Let Christ's righteousness and grace, not yours, be your refuge.

Atheism is just a way of clearing the space for better conversations.
