“The world goes on, boy, desptie how desperately we may want it to stop for just a moment so that we can catch our breath.”

“Joy ... It's a journey we all embark upon from the first moment we draw breath. We search so avidly for it. We cannot help it; it's inherent in our nature. Yet no matter how hard we strive, our joy can never truly be complete until we find it in the Lord.”

“You always have to be prepared that the thing we want most desperately to happen may not happen the way we think. That takes faith. So why not try wanting to see something happen without desperation.”

“When we understand how precious each moment is, we can treat each breath, each moment, as a newborn baby.”

“Our moments are music, and sometimes – just sometimes – we can catch them and put them into some lasting form. If we didn’t have music, I don’t think we could ever be truly happy, and if we didn’t have special moments, we would never find music.”

“We may not be able to stop evil in the world, but how we treat one another is entirely up to us.”
