“If you hear a voice within you say you cannot paint, then by all means paint and that voice will be silenced.”

“how can you imagine what particular region of the first ages a man's untrammelled feet may take him into by the way of solitude-utter solitude without a policeman-by the way of silence-utter silence, where no warning voice of a kind neighbor can be heard whispering of public opinion? These little things make all the great difference. When they are gone you must fall back upon your own innate strength, upon your own capacity for faithfulness.”

“A soul that becomes the place where divine grace is harbored and encouraged joins the class of the immortals and lives on into eternal greatness.”

“Silence is the echo of the eternal world. It is a place where God can come and speak and we can listen to him...and then silence becomes music, it's something that's full of life, an expectancy, there's a grace in it.”

“Please know that your Father in Heaven loves you and so does His Only Begotten Son. When they speak to you--and They will--it will not be in the wind, nor in the earthquake, nor in the fire, but it will be with a voice still and small, a voice tender and kind. It will be with the tongue of angels.”
