That was a great time, the summer of '71 - I can't remember it, but I'll never forget it!

A kid once said to me "Do you get hangovers?" I said, "To get hangovers you have to stop drinking.

I don't do regrets. Regrets are pointless. It's too late for regrets. You've already done it, haven't you? You've lived your life. No point wishing you could change it.

I think books can give rise to empowerment.

Trust me, I'm telling you stories. ... I can change the story. I am the story.

We who formerly hated and murdered one another now live together and share the same table. We pray for our enemies and try to win those who hate us.

There is a book of Revelation in every one's life, as there is in the Bible.

You are like a hurricane, there's calm in your eyes, and I'm getting blown away.

I never made a mistake in my life; at least, never one that I couldn't explain away afterwards.
