“She loved to return to the world of the book, a workd in which people were willing to let go of everything in order to follow their passions.”

“You have everything," she said slowly, as if she were explaining the order of the world to a small child. "A family, a great job, a lot of people who look up to you. You've got a place to go home to." She smiled a little. "So go.”

“If you love somebody, let them go, for if they return, they were always yours. If they don't, they never were.”

“The world is full of willing people, some willing to work, the rest willing to let them.”

“Senior pastors cannot be those who think they can do everything but are willing to let a few people help them. Rather, they are those who know they can’t do everything, don’t want to do everything, and are not willing to do everything; they welcome others to come along-side with their gifts in order to form a powerful team for Christ.”

“How should we like it were stars to burnWith a passion for us we could not return?If equal affection cannot be,Let the more loving one be me.”
