“Don't give up on the power of books to change lives and the world. As everything goes digital, book formats will morph, but their profound influence will endure.”

“The web and its technologies are digital representations of everything we did before in a more private, bigger, faster and more empowering format than ever before.”

“eBooks are just digital copies of analog books. Convenient, yes. But we have the technology now to rethink what a book is.”

“I don't necessarily agree with everything that I say.”

“Living in the middle of beauty like this, we've no call to have puny ideas about God. Why do you suppose His world is so fancy-fine, so full of wonderment if He doesn't want everything to be good and perfect and right and healthy? But we can spoil His good work. When we mess things up, then we shouldn't blame Him and try to make ourselves feel better by contending that it's what He wanted.”

“Lord, where we are wrong, make us willing to change; where we are right, make us easy to live with.”

“If a bloke gave you a hundred quid for a book you can bet your life it’s his way, but if all the poor and suffering people raise their hats to you for writing it - that’s different; it makes it worthwhile then.”
