One way to express the spiritual crisis of our time is to say that most of us have an address but cannot be found there.

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.

To neglect ones own ability to laugh is the greatest form of Blasphemy, for to laugh is to pray.

Truths are the last thing you learn about your family. By the time you learn, you're no longer their child.

You’re chicken, she told herself, snapping her seat belt. This is America, you live in it, you let it happen. Let it unfurl.

Living in New Zealand, it's like a different world - it is a different world. It's very, very cool.

Don Quixote's misfortune is not his imagination, but Sancho Panza.

The whole art of the political speech is to put 'nothing' into it. It is much more difficult than it sounds.

It’s my future and my life and I can’t make myself live the way someone else wants me to.

You know, the polls show that 70 percent of the people are for stem-cell research.

I never wanted to be a magician. I never wanted to be a comedian. I never wanted to be onstage.

I write to find out what I didn't know I knew.
