Silence in the face of evil is evil itself.

Judging others makes us blind, whereas love is illuminating. By judging others we blind ourselves to our own evil and to the grace which others are just as entitled to as we are.

We must be ready to allow ourselves to be interrupted by God.

We are not to simply bandage the wounds of victims beneath the wheels of injustice, we are to drive a spoke into the wheel itself.

Not to speak is to speak. Not to act is to act.

The exclusion of the weak and insignificant, the seemingly useless people, from a Christian community may actually mean the exclusion of Christ; in the poor brother Christ is knocking at the door.

Christianity without discipleship is always Christianity without Christ.

Your dreams of today will create your future.

I'm taking a break from music... everyone was so mean about it and it was so hard that I wanted to die.

The final story, the final chapter of Western man, I believe, lies in Los Angeles.

Don't underestimate kindess, gentleness and patience in a man.

The time for boring ethical discussions around disability is over. It's only through feelings of admiration, aspiration, curiosity and envy that we can move forward.
