“Every man or woman who makes a stand helps keep the flame of freedom burning.”

“Behind almost every woman you ever heard of stands a man who let her down.”

“the only unfailing guide I’ve ever found through the innumerable blind alleys of my life as a writer, man, husband, father, citizen, steward, or believer, is the love burning in my heart. for me, prayer is about one thing: making contact with that love. though it burns in there like a candle flame, hot, bright, beautiful, love’s flame is so fragile… keeping one’s love burning, and living in accord with that burning: this, to me, is prayer.”

“Keep burning the flame of discontent within you until you get the joy of satisfaction.”

“But a good wife—a good unworldly woman—may really help a man, and keep him more independent.”

“If you’re looking for someone to stand in the unemployment line, I’m the man for the job. And if you’re looking for a man who will make love to you all night long, then I’m the man for the job. I will help you find that man.”
