It might be a good idea if, like the White Queen, we practiced believing six impossible things every morning before breakfast, for we are called on to believe what to many people is impossible. Instead of rejoicing in this glorious "impossible" which gives meaning and dignity to our lives, we try to domesticate God, to make his might actions comprehensible to our finite minds.

Love can't be pinned down by a definition, and it certainly can't be proved, any more than anything else important in life can be proved.

An infinite question is often destroyed by finite answers. To define everything is to annihilate much that gives us laughter and joy.

Sometimes when we have to speak suddenly we come closer to the truth than when we have time to think.

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.

Creativity comes from accepting that you're not safe, from being absolutely aware, and from letting go of control. It's a matter of seeing everything - even when you want to shut your eyes.
