“Chasing a dream is not easy to do at all, that is why it must be done. It has to be proven to God how much you want it and he will give you all that you want in return. All you have to do is believe.”

“If I could give you information of my life it would be to show how a woman of very ordinary ability has been led by God in strange and unaccustomed paths to do in His service what He has done in her. And if I could tell you all, you would see how God has done all, and I nothing. I have worked hard, very hard, that is all; and I have never refused God anything.”

“If you want nothing to do with god then why do you say his name all the time”

“it's simple enough, really: because they give us hope. Because they give us power. Because we want to have that feeling where everything in life melts away and all you have is a pen, a paintbrush, a guitar, a lump of clay, a basketball. We chase dreams because, in the end, it's all we know how to do.”

“How do we do this? Do I have to bite you?" I ask, squirming uncomfortably at the thought of doing so."Why, do you want to? If so, by all means go right ahead. I doubt I'd mind much," he laughs. "No, no biting. You watch too many movies.”

“You must not think of how much you have done but of how much more you can do.”
