I don't understand it any more than you do, but one thing I've learned is that you don't have to understand things for them to be.

When a bride insists on telling her lover everything, I suspect she is looking for a father, not a husband.

If our lives are truly "hid with Christ in God," the astounding thing is that this hiddenness is revealed in all that we do and say and write. What we are is going to be visible in our art, no matter how secular (on the surface) the subject may be.

What is self-image? Who started talking about one? I rather fancy it was Madison Avenue.

When we believe in the impossible, it becomes possible, and we can do all kinds of extraordinary things.

I think that all artists, regardless of degree of talent, are a painful, paradoxical combination of certainty and uncertainty, of arrogance and humility, constantly in need of reassurance, and yet with a stubborn streak of faith in their own validity no matter what.

We do not draw people to Christ by loudly discrediting what they believe, by telling them how wrong they are and how right we are, but by showing them a light that is so lovely that they want with all their hearts to know the source of it.
