Sickness may be the solemn occasion of God's intervention in a person's life.

Sooner or later, those who win are those who think they can.

I am convinced that nine out of every ten persons seeing a psychiatrist do not need one. They need someone who will love them with God's love...and they will get well.

Everything that is worthwhile in life is scary. Choosing a school, choosing a career, getting married, having kids - all those things are scary. If it is not fearful, it is not worthwhile.

That is what marriage really means; helping one another to reach the full status of being persons, responsible and autonomous beings who do not run away from life.

There are two things we cannot do alone. One is to be married and the other is to be a Christian.

The adventurous life is not one exempt from fear, but on the contrary, one that is lived in full knowledge of fears of all kinds, one in which we go forward in spite of our fears.

Where there is no longer any opportunity for doubt, there is no longer any opportunity for faith either.

Nothing makes us so lonely as our secrets.

At the heart of personality is the need to feel a sense of being lovable without having to qualify for that acceptance.

To be right is dangerous, it has ever been the source of all intolerance.

One who fishes in shallow waters limits the kind of fish he can catch.

Summer was full on and the nights hot. It was like lying in warm syrup there in the dark under the viaduct, in the steady whine of gnats and nightbugs

The catchers delight in the moment so frozen but soon discover that the nightingale expires, its clear flutelike song diminishes to silence, the trapped moment grows withered and without life.

I’m serious, now let me know every time you see her cry. The thought brings me great joy. Hope.

Fellini, Kurosawa, and Bunuel move in the same field as Tarkovsky. Antonioni was on his way, but expired, suffocated by his own tediousness.

Some people are so boring that they make you waste an entire day in five minutes.

The mind and the soul must work together if you are to experience true bliss. Try not to spend too much time exclusively in your mind. It is a magnificent tool, but it has a limited perspective.

Let everything happen to you Beauty and terror Just keep going No feeling is final

Jews and Gypsies were well-nigh the only Diasporas in 19th century Europe. Now go to London, it is a collection of Diasporas.
