“Tell me that you don’t take that blade and drag it across your skin and pray for the courage to press down.”
“Never let your head hang down. Never give up and sit down and grieve. Find another way. And don’t pray when it rains if you don’t pray when the sun shines.”
“Then I placed the blade next to the skin on my palm. A tingle arched across my scalp. The floor tipped up at me and my body spilled away. Then I was on the ceiling looking down, waiting to see what would happen next...”
“Our praying needs to be pressed and pursued with an energy that never tires, a persistency which will not be denied, and a courage that never fails.”
“Don’t tell me your name. If you don’t tell me your name, I can’t hurt your feelings by forgetting it.”
“You don’t walk with your feet; you walk with your courage! No courage, no walking!”
