Good taste has everything to do with being cultured and being refined, and if art has to do with anything, it has to do with being human.

If you've ever known the love of God, you know it's nothing but reckless and it's nothing but raging. Sometimes it hurts to be loved, and if it doesn't hurt it's probably not love, may be infatuation. I think a lot of American people are infatuated with God, but we don't really love Him, and they don't really let Him love them. Being loved by God is one of the most painful things in the world, it's also the only thing that can bring us salvation and it's like everything else that is really wonderful, there's a little bit of pain in it, little bit of hurt.

If you can't be good, be loud.

Ain't it funny what people say? Ain't it funny what people write?

God loves us completely. And He knew us at our worst before He ever began to love us at all.

It's not the job of government to help the poor. The church is the mechanism that God put on earth to help the poor.

I think I would envy me too, if I didn't know me better.
