"Sophie Bach from The Maker:

You’re a human being with a personality and a will, and you make choices and think and create. Is there no meaning to you, Adrien Bach?

And what about us? Is the way we feel about each other just simulated emotions from some biological process—nothing more?"
Wes Moore

"Adrien Bach, main character from The Maker:

You know, when you’re a kid, you think you’re going to grow up to be something special, do something important. You’re not going to be a regular Joe like everybody else. But then you get out there and life starts to hit you. It hits you so many times, eventually you just can’t get up anymore. Or won’t.

And then you just don’t know. Those dreams seem to fade away, and suddenly you’re not sure who you are anymore."

“From the pastor who has an affair with his secretary, to the jerk at the office who happens to be a deacon, to the overbearing boss who can’t miss his Monday night Bible study, Christians today cause more problems for the gospel than all the devil’s demons put together.”
Wes Moore, Forcefully Advancing

“When our passion for the Great Commission, becomes our search for the Great Politician, we know we're lost.”
Wes Moore

“Why would you accept the Jesus of the Bible, if you have rejected the Bible of Jesus?”
