They deem me mad because I will not sell my days for gold; and I deem them mad because they think my days have a price.

Life without love is like a tree without blossoms or fruit.

One day you will ask me which is more important? My life or yours? I will say mine and you will walk away not knowing that you are my life.

How beautiful to find a heart that loves you, without asking you for anything, but to be okay.

And God said, Love your enemy, & I obeyed Him & loved myself.

If indeed you must be candid, be candid beautifully.

Between what is said and not meant, and what is meant and not said, most of love is lost.

Beauty is not in the face; beauty is a light in the heart.

And ever has it been known that love knows not its own depth until the hour of separation.

Keep your heart in wonder at the daily miracles of your life.

If you love somebody, let them go, for if they return, they were always yours. And if they don't, they never were.

We betray our modern arrogance and forget the place of mystery in God's dealing with us.

What myth can hold when you kneel in your brother’s remains? When you slit his throat yourself? What story can guide us if we can betray all?

I find it flattering to be compared to Tige

It is always pleasant to be urged to do something on the ground that one can do it well.

My family has had to move and change their name and have been subject to threats from right wing blogs calling for my son, for example, to be killed to get at me.

Yes, I believe in school choice. Parents know far better than government bureaucrats what their children need from an education standpoint, and they should be permitted to make that choice.

I love going on tour and playing music for people.

Believe me, the intellectual revolution is going on, and that has to come first before you see the political changes. That's where I'm very optimistic.

The really important thing is not to reject anything.

At the day of judgment we shall not be asked what we have read but what we have done.
