“Believing in him is not the same as believing things about him such as that he was born of a virgin and raised Lazarus from the dead. Instead, it is a matter of giving our hearts to him, of come hell or high water putting our money on him, the way a child believes in a mother or a father, the way a mother or a father believes in a child.”
― Frederick Buechner, Secrets in the Dark: A Life in Sermons

“Make your own Bible. Select and collect all the words and sentences that in all your readings have been to you like the blast of a trumpet.”

― Thich Nhat Hanh

“He was born with a gift of laughter and a sense that the world was mad.”
― Rafael Sabatini, Scaramouche
