And that is one of the worst things about this life. As a liar, a pretend person, you cannot really truly ever be someone's friend. My American life, it is lonely. Often, it is very, very lonely.

I am good at keeping secrets. I am wrapped in them now, the way I am wrapped in lies, like my sweater, clinging tightly to my skin, even on the hottest of days.

My lying is a second skin by now, so easy to forget it's there, so I don't always remember that lying is actually an art, and those who aren't meticulous about it are easily exposed.

Use your special gifts to create work for yourself.

Dare to overcome life difficulties to fulfil your dreams.

We glorify God by living lives that honor Him.

Sometimes, you know, bad is good.

In the autumn of 1970 I had a job singing in the school system, playing my guitar in classrooms.

Sometimes things can go right only by first going very wrong.

Remember you must die whether you sit about moping all day long or whether on feast days you stretch out in a green field, happy with a bottle of Falernian from your innermost cellar.

I simply think God is greater than our weakness. In fact, I think it is our weakness that reveals how great God is.

The way that being on the job works on your adrenaline highs and the crashes that come after the adrenaline highs. It really takes over your life.

THE WORD OF GOD IS THE CREATION WE BEHOLD: And it is in this word, which no human invention can counterfeit or alter, that God speaketh universally to man.
