Often we come home from a sharing session with a feeling that something precious has been taken away from us or that holy ground has been trodden upon.

Pay attention to the people God puts in your path if you want to discern what God is up to in your life.

What makes us human is not our mind but our heart, not our ability to think but our ability to love.

For Jesus, there are no countries to be conquered, no ideologies to be imposed, no people to be dominated. There are only children, women and men to be loved.

You don't think your way into a new kind of living. You live your way into a new kind of thinking.

Dare to love and to be a real friend. The love you give and receive is a reality that will lead you closer and closer to God as well as those whom God has given you to love.

My whole life I have been complaining that my work was constantly interrupted, until I discovered that my interruptions were my work.

In a world so torn apart by rivalry, anger, and hatred, we have the privileged vocation to be living signs of a love that can bridge all divisions and heal all wounds.

The main question is not, how can we hide our wounds...but how can we put our woundedness in service to others.

O Lord, make this Lenten season different from the other ones. Let me find you again. Amen.

Those who keep speaking about the sun while walking under a cloudy sky are messengers of hope, the true saints of our day.

I got a rock.

If I could turn you on, if I could drive you out of your wretched mind, if I could tell you I would let you know.

Fear begets fear. Power begets power. I willed myself to beget power. And it wasn't long before I actually wasn't afraid.

I write slowly. I actually write quickly, but I throw out so much material.

My ambition is to go back to Spurs and Rangers in some capacity and give something back that they gave to me.

It is entirely seemly for a young man killed in battle to lie mangled by the bronze spear. In his death all things appear fair.

The whole nostalgia thing, and just sticking with what you always liked and what you know and not taking a chance on something or expanding. I think especially after a certain age.

You have to feel love to harness its power!

I sort of hate the novel when it doesn't push, restlessly, against the tradition and the traditional.

Music is cyclical and as an artist and songwriter, you need to be able to predict what trend is coming next.
