Faith is a dynamic and ever-changing process, not some fixed body of truth that exists outside our world and our understanding. God's truth may be fixed and unchanging, but our comprehension of that truth will always be partial and flawed at best.

Haile Gebrselassie

James Fenton

It could be my British need for discipline that makes me admire the American appetite for freedom and passion.

Steve Winwood
