We don't live in the Garden. We live far from Eden. Every life is full of heartaches. Every life, frankly, is unspeakably sad.

For after years of living in a cage, a lion no longer even believes it is a lion . . . and a man no longer believes he is a man.

A wound that goes unacknowledged and unwept is a wound that cannot heal.

Story is the language of the heart.

There is something about human nature that just doesn't want to face the reality that we live in two worlds. We live in the physical, material world where we have jobs, read books, and go about our business. And we live in a spiritual world - and that is a world at war.

Deep in his heart, every man longs for a battle to fight, an adventure to live, and a beauty to rescue.

They ignore what is deep and true to a man's heart, his real passions, and simply try to shape him up through various forms of pressure.
