“Courageous convictions will drag the dream into existence.”

“A spirit with a vision is a dream with a mission.”

“You can't get wise with sleep still in your eyes no matter what your dream might be.”

“Could hell be a place where there is no self-respect? A place where people have no pride in their own existence or behavior, and thus would have none for anyone or anything else?”

“I can worship Nature, and that fulfills my need for miracles and beauty. Art gives a spiritual depth to existence -- I can find worlds bigger and deeper than my own in music, paintings, and books. And from my friends and family I receive the highest benediction, emotional contact, and personal affirmation. I can bow before the works of Man, from buildings to babies, and that fulfills my need for wonder. I can believe in the sanctity of Life, and that becomes the Revealed Word, to live my life as I believe it should be, not as I'm told to by self-appointed guides.”

“If you choose not to decide you still have made a choice.”

“You can surrender without a prayer, but never really pray without surrender. You can fight without ever winning, but never ever win without a fight.”
