To break yourself loose from the dominion, ruler-ship and manipulation of the devil, you have to embrace light (knowledge).

The only reason for your intimidation by the devil, and your being afraid of him, or what he can do is because you are living in ignorance (darkness) which is his territory.

As long as you are ready to pay this price for living in the light (knowledge) the darkness (ignorance) becomes a servant to you.

We can choose to live under the rulership of God or under the rulership of the devil.

When you live in darkness, you live under the rulership of the devil.

Every risk that you take in order for you to come into significance is the greatest kind of risk to take.

Go all the way and let your soul be in what you are doing and there will be no limitations.

Finding meaning for life is simply coming into significance because you have been able to accomplish and fulfill your purpose.

When you know that you know to the extent of committing your life to a just cause, then nothing will be able to stop you.

If you have committed all things to impacting a life at a time, or impacting a community or society, then welcome to a life of significance.

Believe that your life is not ordinary and never look down on what you can do to impact a life.

As I lifted the ash dagger, something inside me fractured so completely that there would be no hope of ever repairing it.

I am one of those people who just can't help getting a kick out of life - even when it's a kick in the teeth.

My dad, he was a construction worker. He was a butcher. He was a deep sea fisherman.

I found it incredibly challenging to write clear prose that had the dynamism that I wanted.

My brothers and sisters all sang, too, and they all have good voices.

I remember being absolutely rocked to my core by how profoundly I could love another human being.

When you're kept by a patron you don't have to duke it out in the media marketplace for dollars and for readers. In some ways that's a blessing because it takes a lot of pressure off you.

You always start off with passion and the people that have it.

I'm ready to forgive him for the desire to be a king, but not for wanting to have 23 million court jesters.

The unknown future rolls toward us. I face it, for the first time, with a sense of hope. Because if a machine, a Terminator, can learn the value of human life, maybe we can too.
