I am in an altogether new world now. I can think of nothing more wonderful. It is a real touch of all that heaven means.

I have to detach myself completely from aspirations. I hardly ever listen to music anymore because it arouses all of this yearning in me

Books on horse racing subjects have never done well, and I am told that publishers had come to think of them as the literary version of box office poison

I am actually in poor health due to chronic fatigue and immune dysfunction syndrome, and my ability to work is greatly diminished right now, so I have to get better before I can start another big project

People think I must have been turning cartwheels on the night I sealed the movie deal - which was only two days after sealing the book deal - but I was really quite terrified.

What God asks of men, said [Billy] Graham, is faith. His invisibility is the truest test of that faith. To know who sees him, God makes himself unseen.
