“I have long held that there are two fundamental views of children: That they are pets who can talk, or that they are small people who do not yet know very much. The wrong one is winning.”

“There are many people who can do big things, but there are very few people who will do the small things.”

“Not long ago, two children in Great Park made a quest: a boy who sought a way to talk through the thing he dreaded most and a girl who feared she had lost the One she loved the most. And together they discovered the Kingdom within and without, which all do, who have the courage to make the quest.”

“You're the one who can do no wrong." "I do plenty wrong." "You don't have to tell me.”

“Who that prohibits two people who have different views about God to love each other?”

“When youu take the time to actually listen, with humility, to what people have to say, it's amazing what you can learn. Especially if the people who are doing the talking also happen to be children.”
