Most of my songs are about Jesus. Most of my songs are about the idea that there is salvation, and that there is a Savior. But I won't mention his name in a song just to get a cheap play.

To map out a course of action and follow it to an end requires some of the same courage that a soldier needs.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Michael Vick

To preserve permanent good health, the state of mind must be taken into consideration.

Robert Owen

All nationalisms are at heart deeply concerned with names: with the most immaterial and original human invention.

John Berger

Without consciousness and intelligence, the universe would lack meaning.

Clifford D. Simak

A moment, and its glory was no more. The sun went down beneath the long dark lines of hill and cloud which piled up in the west an airy city, wall heaped on wall, and battlement on battlement; the light was all withdrawn; the shining church turned cold and dark; the stream forgot to smile; the birds were silent; and the gloom of winter dwelt on everything.

Jim Butcher

Being a mom's so empowering and incredible. I'm one of those people who believes that life brings things to you at a certain time for a certain reason, and if you just go with it, that's where the best moments come from.

Ashlee Simpson

John Jay Chapman

Oh Christ, he groaned to himself, if this is the stuff adults have to think about I never want to grow up

Stephen King

If youth knew; if age could.

Sigmund Freud
