Most great art is created when the artist feels they are channeling something rather than trying to communicate something.

When you live on your own for a long time, however, your personality changes because you go so much into yourself you lose the ability to be social, to understand what is and isn't normal behavior. There is an entire world inside yourself, and if you let yourself, you can get so deep inside it you will forget the way to the surface. Other people keep our souls alive, just like food and water does with our body.

Meaning is something we experience more than we attain. It's like finding a nice, easy current in a river that carries you through life.

Don't let go of your strength or your beauty. It was given to you by God.

To be in a relationship with God is to be loved purely and furiously. And a person who thinks himself unlovable cannot be in a relationship with God because he can't accept who God is; a Being that is love. We learn that we are lovable or unlovable from other people. That is why God tells us so many times to love each other.

I'm just trying to make the point that the story we're telling ourselves is often very different from the story we're telling the people around us.
