“You want proof there's a God? Look outside, watch a sunset.”

“There's no safety outside of God.”

“No matter how good somebody's life looks from the outside, you can be sure there's something about it you wouldn't want to have in your life.”

“God seems to far away.Does He? Have you noted the splendid display of wildflowers? Have you listened to a child's laughter or watched a sunrise or a sunset? Have you seen peace on a person's face when they should be miserable?I want that for you. I want you to be able to face very moment of the day knowing God loves you.”

“As for me, I believe that if there's a God - and I am as neutral on the subject as is possible - then the most basic proof of His existence is black humor. What else explains it, that odd, reliable comfort that billows up at the worst moments, like a beautiful sunset woven out of the smoke over a bombed city.”

“People are just as wonderful as sunsets if you let them be. When I look at a sunset, I don't find myself saying, "Soften the orange a bit on the right hand corner." I don't try to control a sunset. I watch with awe as it unfolds.”
