We imagine that whatever is unpleasant is our duty! Is that anything like the spirit of our Lord, "I *delight* to do Thy will, O My God.

We have to pray with our eyes on God, not on the difficulties.

The remarkable thing about God is that when you fear God, you fear nothing else, whereas if you do not fear God, you fear everything else.

The great thing about faith in God is that it keeps a man undisturbed in the midst of disturbance.

We look upon prayer simply as a means of getting things for ourselves, but the biblical purpose of prayer is that we may get to know God Himself.

The greatest test of a man's character is his tongue.

We pray when there's nothing else we can do; Jesus wants us to pray before we do anything at all.

All our fret and worry is caused by calculating without God.

Faith is deliberate confidence in the character of God whose ways you cannot understand at the time.

When a man is at his wits' end it is not a cowardly thing to pray, it is the only way he can get in touch with Reality.

Holiness, not happiness, is the chief end of man.

We steal if we touch tomorrow. It is God's.

There must be something good in a thing that pleases so many; even if it cannot be explained, it is certainly enjoyed.

I can't believe that I changed so little. I expected to look old and hollow and gray, but I guess it's only me on the inside that has shriveled and deteriorated.

One of my favorite movies of all time is Fargo.

I think every movie is its own little world, and a director certainly sets the tone.

I need Harry Potter like a grindylow needs water.

I can write a story in working-class Stockholm Swedish, but I'm not going to assume I can perform the same feat with Cockney. I'll focus on adventures in story, themes and structure instead.

In solitude, where we are least alone.

I'm shy, but not on a one-to-one basis. Over the years, I have become acclimatised to a bit of publicity.

It's just fun just being a girl.
