“People are strange when you’re a stranger.”

I am troubled, immeasurably by your eyes. I am struck by the feather of your soft reply.

Tell them you came, and saw, and looked into my eyes and saw the shadow of the guard receding.

That’s what real love amounts to – letting a person be what he really is….Most people love you for who you pretend to be…

Expose yourself to your deepest fear. After that, fear has no power, and fear of freedom shrinks and vanishes. You are free.

Man, I’m sick of doubt.

When sex involves all the senses intensely, it can be like a mystical experience.

We cripple ourselves with lies.

I’ve always thought comparisons were useless and ugly. It is a short cut to thinking.

I want to feel what it’s like. I want to taste it, hear it, smell it. Death is only going to happen to you once; I don’t want to miss it

A nation which does not remember what it was yesterday, does not know what it is today, nor what it is trying to do. We are trying to do a futile thing if we do not know where we came from or what we have been about.

Love is unknown. To open the heart in trust is unknown. They say love hurts. It doesn’t have to.

Come Jesus, restore my soul tell me things that I don’t know.
