Inside all of us, we know the truth of life that there's something more than the next new cell phone or gadget or relationship and that our heart beats in time with the sunset.

I want to be a compassionate soul, finding worth and beauty in the worlds around me and within me, attempting to sing a transcendent tune with my temporal position in this life.

Your faith is what you do daily, you can't separate your heart from your body and keep them both alive, they're almost the same thing.

Our world spins upside down and sometimes we have to lose our grip on the things we value in this life in order to grab on to true life.

Happiness is like peeing in your pants. Everyone can see it, but only you can feel the warmth.

I use to think that the friction was a bad thing. Everything is to ease pain in our society; pain is very much the enemy. And I don't think that's true. Tension is a good thing. To be pulled tight: that's the only way you can make a proper noise on the guitar or violin.

Please be slow to judge ‘brothers’ who have a different calling.
