“You can't pray a lie -- I found that out.”

“You can't pray a lie" Huck Finn”

“To try to pray is to pray. You can't fail at it. Nobody can...It's the only human endeavor I can think of where trying is doing. Reaching out is holding on. Joining in is letting go.”

“If you alone found out what the lie was, then you're probably right—it would make no great difference. But if you ALL found out what the lie was, it might conceivably make a very great difference indeed.”

“I pray because I can't help myself. I pray because I'm helpless. I pray because the need flows out of me all the time- waking and sleeping. It doesn't change God- it changes me.”

“So what, I lied, I lied to me too. So what, I lied, I lied to me too. Hold out for the ones you know will love you. Hide out from the ones you know will love you. You, you too.Dark you can't come soon enough for me.”
